Someone asked a question about how frequently young people have time to socialize and it made me think about what people do with their evenings. I recently asked my son to go to a concert (free ticket to see a band i know he likes) and he declined because it was an hour away on a weeknight. If we invite our kids or niece/nephew to dinner they always want to go at 6/630 which feels so early. Edit: Kids are 30ish.
Or maybe the other response was correct and video games were the solution to the problem during COVID. If they didn’t play video games they would have found other solutions to hang out with friends and they might not have been as good.
