Internet and Children Depression (2) Having said that, in Japan, we have many physical opportunities for children. Some practice football or baseball where neighborhood is coaching. The children play football and play Nitendo withe team mates. Those children are always cheerful and have good mental balance. Some old people are likely to say that recent children don' know how to use a knife and they lament over that the children can't sharpen a pencil with a knife. I'm giggling and want to say, " How many times did I use a pencil this week? Zero. It is better to learn how to type the keyboard than learning the knife." Children who are good at computers seem to have abilities of solving problems by analyzing the reasons and find solutions. I think it's because they often have to guess what would happen on the next scene and have to choose the best tools to go forward to win on Nintendo. Many children learn something that adults never come up with by playing video games.
