I think the entertainment these days don't leave much to imagination, so the imagination doesn't develop.
It was fun when growing up playing games with pixel graphics, because my imagination would fill in the gaps; when a new game was released I was like "Wow the graphics in this are so realistic!" even though the game was Total Recall on NES, but my mind was used to fill in the gaps on Super Mario Bros.
The objects and characters on screen were just symbolic representations of things for my imagination to interpret, any improvement in graphics lead to less work for my imagination and this easement felt like the graphics were hyper realistic.

Nowadays, the graphics are almost photorealistic - so it leaves nothing for your imagination, I wonder what that does to kids growing up.
