I never really saw video games as a cause, only a symptom. Lacking something more stimulating, one plays video games. Nothings wrong with games themselves, but I do believe that theres better, more nourishing ways to spend time. I say this as an avid gamer. Apparently with some guilt. heh.
But games arent the important part, to me.
The part that sticks out to me, first, is the discussion about whether or not boys learn better through different means of education.
Secondly, the concept, role, and potential of a male role-model... Are there trends in what boys learn with vs without that kind of teacher?
Third, the implications of mens future IF this articles prophesizing is on-the-mark. At worst, the male-slump would never stick; we would fix it. But it would still be an ugly slump and a very strange handful of decades.
Its hard to say whether or not I agree with anything else touched on in the article, but Ill tell ya this... On average, the guys I know are generally lazier than the girls I know. Of the people I know, I feel like I see girls striving to achieve their goals more-so than guys. Unfortunately, Im not keeping track, so all I can do is feel unsettled by my untrustworthy gut reaction.
