Not every board game lasts as long as Monopoly or a marathon game of Go. And
there's plenty of kids who play RPGs that take up to 100 hours to finish, so
I'm gonna have to disagree on just plain (video) "games" being the problem.
Even short-attention-span games require about 10x more investment of
attention than most children's TV programs. Agreed with just about every
other point, though.
