No worries Shade. Yes is is kind of a given, however one major concern within the recreation field is that technology is a huge hindrance to the development of personalities and health. Kids these days are spending hours after hours indoors rather then outdoors. This leads to such things as Nature Deficit Disorder (NDD), and the Fear of The Boogeyman. We are trying to prove that with this type of technology people are able to network with other types of people. This can be playing games online like FFXI, WoW, ect. We want to see people from all over using technology together such as in this forum. Already we have some NA participants and England participants. This shows people working together and possibly learning more about the different cultures of others.

I was a kid before all this techno-mumbo-jumbo crap started becoming popular and I would still prefer to spend hours and hours inside rather then outdoors. The most high tech thing I would play with growin up was g.i. joe, transformers and ninja turtles. The whole "kids not goin" out bit isn't really new, it's just parental groups like to blame the new things as being the cause of something since it's easier then actually being a parent.
