What will be most interesting to me is what happens 20 years down the line. What happens to those kids who sit in front of their PCs and You Tube now. I wonder because I look at my own life. Fifteen to twenty years ago, I spent a lot of time in my room playing computer games on my Spectrum/Atari ST/386. I watched little television - and even less in the main room. Zoom forward to present day and I sit on my sofa with my widescreen TV quite a bit. I no longer have a joystick. The PC sits upstairs - if I'm on it, I'm checking emails, messing with stuff. Behaviours change - situations change. What is common to do at one point in your life, will not always be so. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
