Tonight I was exiting a Jillians (like a Dave and Buster) after an evening of pool with my dad, and while he paid the tab on the beer, I saw a ominous sight: A child, still in the wake of innocence, playing a first person shooter game with a plastic MP-5 semi-automatic rifle, killing men on a screen; and doing it with stunning efficiency. The boy could not have been more than five years of age.
Sure, we as adults know the difference between fantacy and reality in violent arcade games; but, do they? Is this our future in the making?
Cheers.
