Boy Scouts

[Straight Shooter]

Talking today with one of my friends .....mobile phones , Xboxes, and computers was a topic that came up.....i start my reply all Xboxes should be shot ....along with mobile phones ....stopped short on computers though, i view them in a educational light but with restrictions on the obvious ......"thing is SS most everything is now done on computers,tablets and smart phones, it is near impossible to live without this interface.....paying bills,tax returns, .....all medical records are kept on computers " and so on .....boys would rather play a game console than go off walking on even just going outside and having a kick about....although i have strayed off topic MB ....things WE would and used to do when we were young have dramatically changed with the rise of a computerised world ...so advanced there is now digital money ....soon no cash will be required ? ........interest in the outdoors , learning knots,lighting a fire and so many other useful life skills could be lost to a computer programmer ......to most parents i have come across lately game consoles set them Free from their responsibility it keeps the kids quite while they pursue Their interests ....they justify this by saying (all the kids have them....they will be left out see ) Back to BOY SCOUTS .....truth is MB the organisation has to compete not only with new technology but also parents that cannot be arsed to put a bit time and effort into the upbringing of their children especially if it clashes to much with their my time . Surely there can be a marriage of the outdoor pursuits and a game console ?.....but mainly outdoors ....not that i hold bias .
