Few things are as useless as watching TV and playing video games. Especially when you're young, the world is your oyster, you should hang out with friends and do things in the real world.

Yes, playing video games occasionally with friends or watching the odd film can be good things but that's obviously not what we're talking about here.

I'm very happy most of my childhood memories revolve around tree houses, bicycles and gangs of friends roaming the streets.
