Long computer hours can affect your social life ?

Yeah, a lot, kids get exposed to things they're not supposed to do, internet and games can get really addicting, makes kids fat and lazy.

Yes - especially with children. I can imagine a kid sititng on the computer nowdays, playing a game or surfing the internet or something - and it affects their physical health, too! I remember when I was growing up (well, in the '90s) - all we did was play outside. I can't imagine being a kid without that aspect of things.. Technology is a double-ended sword sometimes, don't you think? I guess for the hardcore internet-addicts who are adults, it could be problematic. But honestly for me - this is a non-issue. I go on the internet when I'm bored at work or home and I don't think I've ever decided NOT to hang out with a friend or family member because I was too preoccupied on the internet..That just seems silly. I love getting out and doing stuff!~

I would say that the more time that our youth spends on computers will for sure decrease their social skills in later life.I think that our generation current is addicted to technology and relay's almost solely on it for every day things like eating and getting from one place to another.Kids today seem to need to chat alot on cell phones and send text messages rather than talking up front in person.I think that with this current trend the generation of the future will grow lazy and dependent on technology to survive day to day.
