“I do not play games on computers because there is nothing serious about playing games on computers…If you want to play, go outside and play with your friends.”
This is a quote from Marko Calasan, age 9, the youngest Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer. An article about Marko can be found here.
Perhaps all of us who spend too much time on computers, whether we play games on them or not, can take away some wisdom from this: Get out and interact face-to-face with the (non-digital) world around you. Have fun. It’ll be an incredibly rewarding experience. Let’s face it, when we grow old and look back on our lives, which will we remember more? A night out with our friends at a concert or restaurant (or both) or a night in chatting with our friends on Facebook?
