And you have ever experienced like Alec'and his parent,have not you.?

>>Children's Literature(Issue 28 Spring 2000) :The New Synergies or 'Sneaking past the Sligs with Alec' <<

'Sneaking past the sligs', for instance, emerged from my sad attempts to learn how to play one of the Oddworld games, Abe's Exodus, I think. Whilst this game has both adult and child enthusiasts, this aspect of computer culture is still, overall, one that appeals predominantly to younger people. I had only used a Playstation once before and Alec showed great patience in trying to get me to understand the controls. After some time we both realized that the technology was beyond me (although I have kept trying since!) Alec decided, instead, to show me his imitation of the central character Abe, and I decided that I could manage to do that, even if I couldn't get to grips with the game. This took off into a game played by human beings, which was based on the one on the computer. Far from stopping interaction, the game encouraged it.

...I think so.
