- It's been said that the trend of violent video games is derived from
- violent media (TV, movies, etc.). However, I think a more speculative

- stem from; not just computers, implants, biotechnology, and the like, but
- a general decline in society, meaning violence. It's everywhere. Where do
- you think Hollywood gets its ideas?
