Hobbies

Do people have the same hobbies today that I had? Do they knit, crochet, sew or quilt? Do they read, play cards, play board games and work puzzles? I understand progress but if they are glued to the tv or computer will these other hobbies die out?

My dad made a whole fleet of ships in perfect detail and this was all done by hand without a kit. My mother made her own noodles and ice cream.

There is a unique kind of satisfaction that comes to things you make yourself, even to something temporary like a puzzle. I am a getting fanatical about puzzles again. [It's nice to be retired!]

So lately the things I like to do in my spare time are the puzzles, knitting and reading. But am I missing out on what my grandkids like to do in their spare time which is the computer and video games? Are these "hobbies" as fulfilling as mine? What is so fascinating abou these games? Please somebody tell me!
