Oh, the Humiliation

Egged on by my 16-year-old daughter and 16-year-old students, I continued with my obsessive quest to master Temple Run. Yesterday, my wife dragged my daughter and me furniture shopping. Daughter and I found a very comfortable sofa and began playing. I scored 470K on Temple Run, a personal best for the week I've been playing it.

Daughter grabbed iPhone, sat for two minutes, and scored over a million. "They're here to replace us," said Jerry Seinfeld.

For their sake, I hope whatever skills are inherent in playing addictive video games become marketable. If that's the case, I see my daughter and students running the world any moment now, while we slink off in our wheelchairs.

    Well, the Powers That Be appear to be set on leaving the likes of us in a ditch, no matter how well we play their games.

    As for humiliation, we ain't seen nothing yet.

  2.  True, of course. But if our kids and students end up running the world, I'll have no regrets.
