| to be entertained is to push a button or | | | | programmes on 300 odd channels in your |
| press a remote, and all your | | | | own bedroom. Unless it's available at a |
| entertainment needs are met. | | | | moment's notice it's to long to wait for |
| But what about the old fashioned | | | | it. |
| entertainments? Fishing, gardening, | | | | Yet this generation is the one that we |
| walking, picnicking, BBQ's, swimming, | | | | have helped bring into the world. So I |
| bushwalking, keeping a pet or fish tank, | | | | guess the blame has to sit at least |
| feeding the birds or other wild animals, | | | | partly with us older people. The one's |
| playing a board or card game etc. It all | | | | who can still remember doing these sorts |
| seems to be lost to the younger | | | | of things before TV and video games were |
