I meant in terms of computer capabilities - kids these days are growing up in a time when computers are far more advanced. But you make an excellent point. Are computers so advanced that people no longer think for themselves? If this is true then I think it's very sad.

As if we truly understand how anything in our lives work :P Come the apocalypse most of us will have little value beyond being meat for the true survivors.

Not really a problem of thinking for themselves; more a problem of not understanding what is becoming the backbone of humanity for the aeons to come :/

Computers are definitely the future. I enjoy them and build them. Although I must admit that I am not really a phone or tablet person. I like them and use them it's just I much prefer desktops. My 16 year old neighbor is the opposite - he uses those tablets and doesn't know the first thing about computers - neither do his friends. I have to go over their all the time to fix something with his desktop. He doesn't even know how to defrag his drive.

As for the OP, I think it's great that a six year old girl is playing a roguelike. We need more young people getting into the genre.
