One issue with today's world is desensitization. We have access to so much amazing content (games, movies, etc.) that we build really high tolerance.
For example, when I was young I was very creative. I could sit down and draw racetracks and imagine actually driving through them. Then I got Hot Wheels for GBA, and it was amazing. Then I got Mario Kart DS, and it was more amazing. But now when I look back at the games, with new games like Forza Horizon 4. they're so ugly and shallow, I have no idea how I got so much enjoyment out of them.
I see toddlers who are playing these colorful, impressive games on the iPad. I worry if they will even develop creativity in the first place, or if they will build such high desensitization tolerance, that they develop ADHD-like symptoms from just getting bored too fast.
