<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2638501, member: 76086&quot;]Yes, hobbies overall are dying (but I dont think will ever be dead).&nbsp; They are changing and evolving.&nbsp; There are plenty of old cliches that we can invoke:&nbsp; &quot;When I was a kid&quot;, &quot;you whippersnappers&quot;, &quot;in my day&quot;....humanity has changed so drastically and quickly the last few decades those of us who are say 45 and older have a hard time relating.&nbsp; I dont understand my kids, who spend enormous amounts of time on Youtube, looking at what I consider nonsense.&nbsp; And the attention span is in seconds.&nbsp; I watch my daughter click on a video, watch it for a few seconds, then change to another, then another and another, never watching anything to the end.&nbsp; Its just the way they are now.&nbsp; Such ideas as coins are completely alien to them.&nbsp; It is truly a generation of attention deficit disorder.&nbsp; Nearly all of them have it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I suspect that in the future when the younger generations get a bit older, are more stable in life, have more disposable income, etc., they will eventually have hobbies.&nbsp; But the days when a kid got started with a hobby when they were say 10 are gone.&nbsp; They likely wont start until they are 30, 40, 50.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
