   Yes, you hear about this stuff but if you don't have access to   
   youngsters you really have no idea.. My niece's kids are 11 and 9   
   and for several years now when they are up here, she has to chase   
   them outside or they'd be laying out on the couch playing games on   
   their tablets all day long. And this is, for them, at the cottage.   
   You could understand it at their home but up here where there are   
   beaches and swimming and water sports and hiking and such..
