Mark: Hey, Mike. Here's a question. Do you think teenagers these days, have a better life than, say we did, when we were teenagers?
Mike: Well, it's, that's a debate that's been going on since the days of Socrates and Plato, I think, but again, and probably like Socrates, has said himself, "You know kids today, are a lot different than they were when we were younger", that's for sure. Whether it's better or not, ah, I personally think, we had it better because we weren't stuck behind a computer or behind a TV set all day, I think we tended to do things more outside, but I think whether you're a teenager now or then, probably the same kind of issues 1 went on in your head.
Mark: Yeah, that's the way I feel about it, actually.
Mike: Think so.
Mark: Well, these kind of, these kind of debates or these kid of issues, I feel like there is no better or worse, it's just different, (Yeah) you know.
Mike: How do you think it's different?
Mark: Well, in obvious ways, like the technology now. (Sure) Like I can remember the first, my first microwave (Right) and my families first VCR, (Sure) and those were, you know, pretty exciting moments, yeah, absolutely.
Mike: How's about going to the library to have to get research.
Mark: Yeah! That's interesting, but, uh, people don't do that much anymore and I don't even realize that, but, yeah, um, so the technology is definitely 2 better now (Sure. For sure.) but it's more addictive 3, I mean kids, start, like you said, they don't play outside (Yeah) they just play video games all day (Yeah) and you know, I wasn't allowed to stay inside so much when I was a kid.
Mike: Same here. Same here. I was sort of forced to go outside, but also, although, I guess you could make an argument and say the kids do kind of play with each other when they get on those, the internet gaming sites, and there's a whole group of them from Morocco to Mexico to Canada to the States, all playing online, of course, they never see each other but they're all trying (more international) to kill each other.
