Six months ago you couldn’t have convinced me that before the year was over I would be spending hours each day playing a computer game, entering an e-sports tournament and proselytizing about the beauty and benefits of virtual reality. After all, I had previously made it my goal in life to keep my children (especially my teenage sons) away from electronic devices.
They ruin your eyes.
They stunt your growth.
They kill your brain cells.
They require no socialization skills.
I told them stories of 30-year-old gamers living in their parents’ basements and reminded them that it’s easier to meet girls if you’re not sitting in front of a computer screen with a controller in your hand.
