i agree with you now do something interesting.

look around you Our entire society is built on being passively entertained

yup. TV has killed our creativity and need to interact thoughtfully with others

It is not just TV. There is a lot to be learned from TV, if someone is so inclined to seek out the informative stuff. Just like books, most people do not gravitate toward the most intellectual stuff (Bell Curve). It's the entire society. Theme parks, Spectator sports, Eating out constantly and never cooking, Pre-made toys and games, etc etc etc

i totally agree with you how do we fix it?

Start by passing down skills and talents to our children, like building, repairing, sewing, cooking, arts & crafts, etc. Somewhere there was a breakdown in teaching life skills to children. Now we have a bunch of unskilled self-indulgent parents playing video games all night, raising indulging who play video games all night.

well, assuming she takes after us, and i think she will, she'll know how to do all sorts of things, all of the things you mentioned included.

Then you are part of the fix :-)

Is this you?
