I used to remember I envy those kids whose parents are able to purchase an action figurine for them to play. I still remember the action figurines like Ninja turtles, Transformers, Power Rangers, etc.
Aww, I cannot express my delight when I was given a chance to fiddle with them.
They are so real and so entertaining as they are foldable at the joints and can be transform into another items. It was as if it was exclusively made for kids and we appreciate the efforts.
However, some kids cannot resist and try to sample the figurines resulting in some asphyxiation.
Nowadays, the toys for the new generations have changed drastically. In order to change the idea of holding something physical and die an unjust death due to the swallowing of certain parts, the game companies took everything online. They produce games online for kids to play and no longer do kids require individual imagination and expressions, they are given the subjective experience of other's imagination. No longer is it creativity in participation, they are now reduce to mere consumers of a certain products which is the result of an adult's imaginations.
An adult's imagination which has been watered down through the years of growth is totally incomparable to the children's.
What more, we are creating a generation of myopic children due to their long hours, eyes glueing to the screen.
How awful is that?
Of course, people will say that the current games are more educational as they teaches certain lessons and train their motor skills.
I feel balance is key. Anything good when given in heavy dosages will result in unwanted results.
