We don't play games to while away to early years of our youth. We play games as part of the serious business of understanding the complex nature of the world we currently live in.

This could be one explanation for why we play more as a society than we used to.
David Allen said in 2001 (Getting Things Done) that we are presented with more information in one day than our grandparents were presented with in one month.
