The Problem:
Are your parents making your life miserable ... restricting your time playing games and socializing on the computer? Why do parents think computers are bad for you? How can computers help you? |
||||||||
 |
Your Mission:
Convince your parents that you will learn valuable skills while programming your own computer games and projects. You could get scholarships to the schools of your choice. (That will get their attention!) You could make life-long friends from around the world. You could earn fame, fortune and happiness with your new skills. The world needs you to help solve the messes your parents' generation have created. You must convince your parents to give you a reasonable amount of time to learn the computer skills you'll need to be a player in tomorrow's high-tech world. |
