Because of the work, trouble and expense of raising children, young couples began to have virtual children rather than biological offspring. No virtual child was ever sick, sad, over weight or suffering from angst, at least not beyond a certain point necessary to full fill customary parental needs.

Naturally, this fad started in America and America being all about business besides the obvious social and cultural implications several economics outputs occurred because of the phenomena of virtual children.

First a cottage industry of middlemen and interlopers developed designed to make a living from the trend. Here we review a few of the steps a prospective parent would take before seriously considering virtual children.

The prospective parent of a virtual child can begin their search for the perfect offspring with the Apple [trademark] "app" called "I honestly want at least one child,"  a survey of raising virtual children. The app is extremely effective at screening out lukewarm potential parents who haven't thought through the ups and downs of parenthood and is modestly priced and easy to use to begin the initial information gathering process before venturing into the world of having a virtual [ flesh and blood- edit??] child, boy or girl[ male or female?].

Next various on line Universities have a two year degree in "You and your virtual Bud", [financing available] such as the University of Tuscon [ and others?] [ note credits do not necessarily transfer]. Also various Churches [and] [ agnostic co-operatives] provide pre-counseling for no fees [donations are appreciated].

Third a trial period is available before the time commitment and funds are made to obtain virtual children. Using 3 D printer technology a model virtual child may be downloaded at participating [ Kinko's] locations. Note however because the cost of the paper 3D technology is expensive proceed cautiously here [edit]. Also large fees and fines accrue if the model isn't deconstructed according to local laws which vary by jurisdiction.

Is a virtual child for you [and or your spouse/partner] ?.

part 2

edit 1:



Education of virtual children

Teachers unions have not benefited from the rapid growth in American families choosing to have virtual children rather than flesh and blood children. Of course no virtual child should be educated by a non union teacher. This is to insure each virtual child received a uniformly mediocre equal education along with all other children. Related is standardized testing for virtual children. Since virtual children have less distraction in their lives than biological children minimum standardized test scores for virtual students should be raised 20% above existing standards. Of course there will be the usual clamor and complaint that virtual children in wealthier districts receive more than equal treatment than their poorer peers. Already studies have shown that wealthier virtual students tend to receive more personal freedom in their schools and more importantly are subject to less "big brother" type visual inspection and observation than their poorer peers but more research is needed to collaborate this conclusion.

Athletics
A hotly contested topic in virtual children revolves around steroid use. The subject of virtual steroids is complicated by the fact that there is little agreement on a definition of enhanced performance in virtual activities. Suffice to say this is an area that will continue to be controversial.

Health Care
Nearly 51% of virtual children have no health care, a shocking statistic to those who are employed in the lucrative per profit delivery of health care government subsidized services. The health care providers and insurance industries have been lobbying for State mandated minimum coverage of all virtual children. The ideal payer for the uninsured virtual youths look to be citizens without virtual children, and of course the elderly homeowners.

Housing
Virtual children are skewing the housing numbers causing confusion in government weekly and monthly indexes. A revision for births and deaths of virtual children is being investigated.

Retirement
How will today's virtual children ever retire someday with two houses, two large cars and how will they spend their golden years if they have to worry about money, sickness, and Chinese workers taking their opportunities and ruining their peace of mind?

Virtual Children themselves:
They are loud, aggressive, rude, disrespectful, lazy, irreverent and smart mouthed. Alarmingly, virtual American children are already falling behind oriental children in Math and Science.
