Games

Phones everywhere and all I can see are games; most of them are card games. I wonder if any of them are parents of kids who play video games and admonish those children for rotting their brains.

I challenge any adult to be "good" at a modern game like Call of Duty, Halo, or even a MMO like World of Warcraft or EverQuest. There are such mechanisms, dexterity, social conventions, and problem solving involved. I would venture most parents lack the patience, focus, or aptitude to handle any of them: even a basic one. 

So keep playing your solitaire and think you are just relaxing. It's different, really. You are putting in virtually no work for that game. You know the dozen rules and it stays static. Get your three candies in a row. Get your Ace to make that flush. 

But I dare you to figure out the timing, skill, and coordination to pull of a 48-person assault with strategy, precision and structure in an ever changing world where the rules constantly morph.

In short, stop judging. These kids will have more skills than you probably when they are your age.
