What are kids going to be like in 50 years?
Anyone ever wondered what kinda old people our generation is making? I mean when we associate things with being old, what our generation is doing just doesn't seem like it's gonna be kosher. Even the music is going to be drastically different. Old people generally listen to gospel or old country. A few listen to some older rock but can band's like the strokes, Disturbed, Bullet for my Valentine, Modest Mouse for Christ's sake, could any of those ever be considered old rock? I guess one day we'll find out because I don't see our tastes in music changing much more than it is now. Even computers have changed the future elderly population. Most senior citizens wake up at the ass crack of dawn and go to Hardee's for breakfast and set around all morning pissing off the help because they order nothing more than coffee and maybe a biscuit here and there. Trust me I know, I worked there. Old people set on front porches or buy RVs. Our breed is going to be totally different I believe. Is it possible that we're going to have a whole generation of online gamers? No camping, no fishing with grandpa. Is the new pass time going to be let's see what grandpa bought for his computer today? A lot of people I know and have watched suggest so. Especially the World of War Craft gamers. Those guys are leading the pack. It's kinda scary if you think about it. My childhood would have never been the same without those things that grandma's and grandpa's add to the picture. Especially grandma's cooking. Everyone knows what I'm talking about. No one cooks like grandma. Hopefully McDonald's won't replace her. God know it has everything else. The weight epidemic in the U.S proves that one. Those long talks with grandpa are priceless as well. I mean what are our stories going to be? "Yea, grandson. When I was only 17 I became a level 70 dungeon mater and downed this massive dragon!!" I mean WTF?!?! Where are all the life stories that kids need to hear going to come from if you don't go out and fuck up now so you can tell them about it later?!?!!? I dunno, maybe I'm just over thinking it. Maybe when you hit 40 or something someone casts an old spell on you and your tastes and interests completely change. That's gotta be it. Hopefully, or our kids' kids are just fucked I guess.
