Amen to this discussion. I enjoyed playing outdoors, riding my bike and hanging out with the neighborhood kids. We built tree forts, played war in the woods, etc. In grad school I got into a heated discussion with another student who tried to tell me that playing video games was as good for a child's hand eye coordination as playing baseball. I just about flipped. Not to mention all the added bonuses that go along with participating in youth sports. My wife and I just had twin boys and I plan on doing my best to raise them in an environmentally conscious, outdoorsy atmosphere.
