Eight things kids these days can't do anymore

1. Climb mount Olympus, talk to Gods in bushes, and be able to eat he Sun in one big gulp.

2. Get into real serious love affairs, dragging their clans and families into the drama, and generally creating a lot of heartache and drama for everybody involved because of their stupid love affair. They'll just game instead. Phew.

3. Work in the mines. On one hand it's probably a win because they have better lungs. On the other hand, they don't get the fun of working in a mine, and are basically imprisoned inside their rooms, in the virtual world. Win some/ lose some.

4. Get married. Many would argue this is a good thing, and there aren't many argument against, but if there's one thing that'll straighten a naughty child, it's being given responsibility of family, another human being, and some children possibly. So now parents have to come up with new techniques to get them right.

5. Walk into a cupboard, into a whole new world, fight and win battles, run Kingdoms, and lord over foreign lands they have no personal connection with, while returning home on time for tea!

6. Somewhat related to the above, go on wild adventures involving trippy images and creatures, perhaps possibly a drug-fuelled trip, to come back home with a newfound appreciation of life and it's wonder.

7. Get conscripted into a wild band of similarly naughty no-gooder pirates or anti-pirates, roam around the world annoying other people and making merry.

8. Lead vast armies into unlikely victory, be seen as supernatural deity, only to be burned at the stake, question mark, when your predictions don't come exactly out slash you start losing battles.
