Video games are new, so people are targeting them as the root of all
evil, but this is really nothing new.  College kids get distracted
easily, and if it wasn't video games, it'd be something else.  20 years
ago everyone was up in arms about Dungeons & Dragons and how it was
going to destroy a whole generation of youth, yet somehow we carried on
as a society in spite of the odd gaming addict flunking out.
