Youth Marketing Forum- Sentosa 2007

Gaming – what we believed was child’s play is the biggest industry which is  bigger to the Hollywood.

While it is great for the marketers but is this what we want for the GEN NEXT???

Is this not progressive regression – where the youth get locked up with the computer and lines between the real world and the virtual world get blurred – where victory is so important that the game mortal kombat actually led to one to the youth killed his peer!!!
