We are physical beings, and our physical selves are wasting away the more we neglect them in favor of the electronic world.

Sigh... We were not meant to sit around and play video games all day. Our brains and bodies just don't respond effectively to it. It's not healthy.

Playing video games may well be a waste of time, but it's not because they're not physical. All the accomplishments which I admire most are informational or abstract in nature, not physical.
