Although I agree with you on almost everything you said Bill, it is clear that people of the older generation have a severe misunderstanding and bias toward video games. It's the modern day equivalent of parents thinking KISS stood for "Knights in Satan's Service".

You also asked what my point about developments in mountain biking. I was giving an example to f_klock about an industry that has been around for many years, but was not able to fully mature until faster computing speeds and CADs came about. You comment on how you believe these advances in materials/designs have not necessarily improved (biking?) I'm more a MTBer than roadie, so I'll just speak for MTB, but recent mountain bikes make a decade ago look a hundred years ago. I partake in many different sports, and mountain biking is probably one of the quickest evolving.

You cannot allow you personal bias of the "false reality" machines you call them to interfere with your judgment. A professor, of all people, should know that.

Bill said: "Your beloved video games are, for the majority of "gamers" a limited electronic universe that has lost touch with reality ("reality TV" is NOT!)". Now thats just a bit condescending.
