Have you noticed how the quality of computer games has been increasing near-exponentially?
Also their portability?
Why would a kid go to Tarlton's Arcade to play some klunky dinosaur game when he / she can stay home and play on a PSP, x-box, or online, having a great time while doing so?
I'd like to know how much time people vacationing at the lake spend online (kids and adults): I'd be willing to bet the answer is "Quite a bit."
Computers, computer games: a perennial front-runner for "black hole."
