Education....

Hey Rooster! Here is a story for you. I just taught my 11 year old son about 3 weeks ago how to play chess. When i was a child we used to play chess and checkers during recess at school. I told him that now he can play against his friends. He looked at me with a funny look and told me no one in his class plays chess or even knows how. He said why would they play chess?? MOst of his friends have a game cube or a playstation.
I was shocked. I told him when i was a child we didn't really have those things. We had an Atari but most of us still played chess. It just shows how technology has even taken away a simple past time like checkers and chess. My 11 year old son told me so.
