I do the same walk with my dog several times a week .
The park I played on as a child , which used to be full of kids , is regularly pretty well deserted , even on sunny , warm days .
Most of present-day children are inside on their computers , play-stations , electronic games , or watching the many children's TV channels .
There is concern now for children's health because of being in a sedentary position for long periods . And that does not include the mental , emotional , and spiritual damage brought about by their overuse of high-tech entertainment .
