...nothing EVER fully matures...

Especially the kid who sits and plays video games all day.

Ever go to a lecture and see, what I call, the Power Point huddle? - anywhere from 2-6 people huddled around a laptop or projector discussing which input, the remote, try this, try that and any number of other problems getting the darn thing to work. I've seen 7 year olds run a slide projector.

A picture of a tree, whether it be on Powerpoint, an old fashioned slide, or even in a book (They DO still make those, don't they?) - There is no substitute for the real thing. You can't climb it, feel the texture of the bark, smell the moss, bend your neck back or stretch your arms out to appreciate it's height and girth, hear the wind in the leaves, or experience the birds, mammals, and insects who call it home. Multimedia never has been, is not now, and will never (no matter how mature the technology) be the same as experiencing nature first hand. Sight and sound PLUS taste, smell and touch. THAT'S multimedia.
