Screens are an issue, for sure. But kids stopped going out before computer and phone screens became common.

When was that? I grew up in the 1980s and we would be outside messing around from dawn to dusk, even though we had a Nintendo 64, Nickelodeon, MTV (back when they actually had music videos), a vcr, etc.

Those two doesn't agree with each other. If you grew up in 1980s you were an adult or close to when Nintendo 64 were out.

Our kids were born in the 80s. That happened to them. No one around to play with
