Just to bring in another theory - this phenomenon may also have something to do with video games. With all the video games, along with texting and facebook, there is no longer a reason to go outside.

I only have a single test sample to report: I banned video games in my house. My daughter decided she wanted to learn to shift gears to have one of my older BMW's when she turned 16. Even an older BMW is a bit of a status symbol with high schoolers. Now she has graduated to taking my M3, beats a lot of guys in autocross, and is an instructor in the Street Survival School. Dad is very proud.

So, dump the video games.
