The next trend in computer games will be an attempt to interface your emotions to the unfolding course of the action play. In other words as your heartbeat increases or your palms become sweaty the game's pace will react.

How is that for developing good social skills? If you have seen teenagers in your neighbourhood they can either grunt or misspell text messages.

As a society we have to make up our mind as to what it is we want to hand over to the next generation (if there will be one left - that is).

You can either be real showing concern for your fellow man - or you can be a fake and live in a virtual made-up world in the forever quest of "What's in it for me?"

Trying to skirt a path with a foot on either side is a recipe for disaster.

The saving grace is that all of us crave for true love and attention - that's the way we are wired by design. Those who have dated on the internet will tell you that those commodities are in short supply in cyberspace. Let's get real and go for a bushwalk in the open spaces as a family and re-discover who we are.

When is the last time you felt the breeze and the sunshine on your face? When is the last time you made lunch to share with someone else? No need for a games console to do that.

And that's my point. We take it for granted that progress is to replace the real thing with man-made substitutes when God-made reality is the original thing and cannot be faked or duplicated.

The original fall of Lucifer was to dare to be like God and he has never turned back on his original project.

Unfortunately social disorder is such that for some loneliness and neglect is a reality and they are seeking a virtual world to escape from this nightmare. We have a social responsibility to reach out to those who have been shipwrecked through family breakup, alcoholism, drug abuse, bullying at school, etc...

You might think that being addicted to make-believe computer games is a better outcome than suicide but it is only a delaying process. As young people are being deprived of true social interaction they grow up to become social outcasts.

The government is well aware of the situation and the falling rate of new apprenticeships is an alarming trend.

The solution? Putting real life into our lives. Cut out the clever computerised substitutes and live a more fulfilled simpler life putting the interest of others before our own.
