They are, of course, right.

However, life can be boring if all you do is study / work.
In a way, I'm pretty happy that games / computers like we have today didn't exist when I was growing up.

I would have never got anything done. . .

Though, the neighbors back then probably wished the opposite. A lot of things wouldn't have blown up or been burned to a crisp had I something else to do. . . . .
