ELECTRONIC FARMING & OTHER INNOVATIONS

In the cyber world of addictive amusement and entertainment that only seems to develop the index finger and over-emphasize the visual world, enterpreneurs have devised 'electronic farming' that is, growing crops on a game device, even on line. You plant the seeds, water the ground, etc. all without any real sweat and so forth. It is a sort of game that has followers. There is also a thing of various pets, like dogs or cats, that romp, bark, cavort, meow, have to be fed,etc. all without the usual poop you'd have to scrape up or the litter box to change. Now, what about a device that allows you to cook food, create menus, desserts, dishes,etc. and so forth? My feeling is that we need to get back to reality and actually cook, take care of pets or animals, and plant gardens,etc. and do some work,especially for those who are advocating and preaching GREEN!
