Seems the lack of exposure to sun and physical play could eventually turn out to be a physical negative in the growth of humans. According to some estimates, average height will either stabilize at current levels or possibly shrink, skin will lose natural protections from sunlight and infections, arms and legs will weaken, and active interest in the the environment and protection of nature will wane. Hands will reshape to emphasize the thumb, and eyes will lose long distance acuity and become light sensitive.
I won’t be around to see that evolution but I can wonder what will happen when, as is likely to happen, the work-a-day world and the environment reach a point where the fix requires physical effort and strength to correct and digital game heroes aren’t up to the job.
