The youth in this country have inherited technology that weathers the past just as the wind weathers a mountain or a stream dissipates a rock. This can be seen when looking at outdoor basketball courts in small towns. Children are too busy playing video games and liking a status on Facebook then to get out and move about. Physical activity has taken a back seat to a country driving away with technology and obesity. The funding for old school basketball courts has disappeared because nobody plays on them anymore.

Rocks and glass litter the court for anybody willing to play at Washington Park in Alamogordo, NM.
