There is nothing wrong with having hobbies but what the hell man.

From the post:

>TWO SUITED men cheer the cars racing around a table-top track at the Nuremberg toy fair. Close by, a woman holds a vinyl figurine of Will Byers from “Stranger Things”, a TV show. The world’s biggest toy expo celebrated its 75th birthday last month. Its target market is ageing, too. Toy sales grew by 7% worldwide last year thanks to rising spending by so-called kidults, according to Frédérique Tutt of Circana, a data firm. Grown-ups have long collected model trains and various curios. But never have they spent so much on them. A decade ago just 9% of expenditure on toys in Europe’s five biggest markets came from over-18s. By last year that share had more than doubled.

I hope the next generation of kids coming up has parents with enough sense to have the kids play with toys instead of tablets and smart phones.

There was a study a couple of years ago that said kids couldn't grip a pencil in school because they were growing up with touchscreens, not tactile toys like blocks. Imagine how fucked that is to even consider that is a problem we now have to consider.

Kids don't have good motor function or grip strength because all they do is tap a screen.

These young shits can't look people in the eye to talk to one another, nor can they pick up a phone to call somewhere to make an appointment for something they want to do. There are plenty of other areas that kids are lacking in because they have been raised by a touch screen.
