I find it funny that all people can talk about is the Ipad. We used tablet computers in our industrial plant over 8 years ago...
A laptop style computer with a touch screen... Its nothing new... We had touch screens in the 90s.
You see this right here is the problem. ALL video games aren't for kids, actually MOST video games arent for kids. Most video games are for males 18-30 years old.
This is the perception that is the problem, that these things are intended for kids when they are specifically rated 18+.
If parents would take that 18+ rating seriously we wouldn't have this problem. Do we see news articles about parents showing their kids R rated movies? No not really, because parents understand an R Rating and take it seriously.
The same thing needs to happen to video games.
