Today, forty hours is the amount of time an average kid spends using electronic media weekly. It used to be a full work week. This is close to total immersion. Why has a fascination with blow-em-up video games taken the place of pulling the wings off flies?

They examine how life in a video world steals time from human contact, creates baseless fears, and teaches values that hinder maturity. *Includes Study Guide.
