PlayStation Generation may never climb tree, controller’s fault
MCV UK reports that in the Daily Mail, a newspaper, quoted MD Alan Stock as saying: “At least climbing trees gives kids an appreciation of our surroundings. But playing computer games doesn’t really teach us anything. It’s easy to end up sitting indoors for hours on end.” This quote of course, showed up in a Daily Mail report that says that based on figures collected from UK hospitals, Repetitive Strain Injury has increased by 35 percent among children since 1999.
The newspaper then says that the increase in RSI may be the PlayStation’s fault. The report even bears the headline: “PlayStation generation that will never climb a tree.”
Figures have shown that the number of children treated for falling out of trees dropped by 36 percent between 1999 and 2006. Hence the depression of the good doctor, MD Alan Stock.
So go prove them cheeky Brits wrong kiddies. Go outside and go climb a tree. Once you’re dirty from the moss on the bark, once you’ve broken your leg from falling or something, and once you’re home-bound due to the injured limb, go back to playing God of War 2. Yes, that.
Great, what else are folks going to blame on videogames?
Oh oh, bonus points for Sony fans, they said “PlayStation Generation” a-hyuk.
