Gaming young...

The movie compared the gaming world and children as oil and water. Surprisingly (being sarcastic), taking the health approach to their argument saying that the time spent playing games is used incorrectly because that time should be spent outside exercising or more traditionally playing sports. Also, the movie made points like differences in generations. Marketers are targeting people as young as infants to "plant seeds" in their young minds. This subsequently influences spending habits of the younger guardians. Advertising know and acknowledge this so billboards, commercials, and even schools advertise to our youth.
Sadly enough the movie made perfect sense in rationalizing the affects of this epidemic. I really enjoyed hearing the accountability being brought up to parents because mostly what is implied is "it's the kids." Lastly, the liberal twist to the movie was a little obvious, but all and all a very informational video.
