Seems to me that I read somewhere that this upcoming generation may be the first generation in awhile in which the kids are expected to be poorer than the last generation, due to the high unemployment and rising costs of secondary education? I could be remembering this factoid wrong.

In which case, Farmville becomes quite the entertainment bargain. If Mom and Dad are already providing the computer + internet, the game is free -- much cheaper than the latest $60 XBOX game. If Mom and Dad have Amazon Prime, you can stream quite a few movies and TV shows to the computer free of charge. And so forth.

Now we just need to convince Mom and Dad to provide an eReader and a card to the Free Library of Philadelphia.
