I hope I never stop playing computer games. I think they are entertaining for all ages, and I think many old folks don't play them because they simply have never really given them a shot. If they did I think they would latch onto the idea. I mean think about it, when your 80 years old, you can't get up and run around anymore, so you are limited to sitting in a chair or a bed. Computers would be the ideal thing for them. I go with my mom once in a while to a nursing home to visit with the old folks there whose families have deserted them. Some of them have TVs in their rooms and some do not (just stare at the walls all day every day). I guarantee you if they all had computers in their rooms it would make such a difference in their lives. I am hoping that years from now in the future, computers and the internet will become as common as telephones and everyone, including nursing homes, will have access to them.
Bilqis - I know what you mean! Kids these days have it made compared to what we had when we were kids! They have computer games and we had pots and pans to play with! I don't have my old Atari anymore, battery acid ruined it, but we still have the ol' Commodore!
