Are Our Children Addicted?

Last month I wrote a post about children born today, on average, having a shorter life expectancy than their parents–primarily due to sedentary living brought about by technological gadgets and toys.

Then, I ran across an article recently by Seth Godin, which, through a video he posted, depicts a disturbing picture of kids with gadgets. If you view the following link, watch the young boy at about the 2:40 mark.

“Kids at Christmas”

Have we so ingrained in our children the need for the latest electronic gadget, that they have become “gadget addicts?” How big a role have these gadgets played in creating the sedentary lives and childhood obesity that is being called an “epidemic” today?

I would like to hear what some others think.
