You might not know it, seeing as how I work for a company dealing heavily with technology and write a blog, but I'm half Luddite.
Yes, my family has no cable or satellite TV, still work off a paper calendar, have a rotary phone, and still own heaps and heaps of videotapes. I was probably the last person I knew to get a DVD player. (Wait, that was my mother.)
So how is it, come December 25th that my two children, who had rare access to computer games became the proud owners of:
- A Barbie MP3 player
- Nintendo DS Lite
- Leapster
- Some hipster version of Webkinz
- Littlest Pet Shop TV game
- An original Nintendo Entertainment System complete with 3 versions of Mario Bros. and Tetris
And my wife thought Keifer Sutherland was having really long days.
