This morning, while pottering about as one does, my little brother - who is 11, might I add, and therefore of the technology generation - ushered me from the living room for his friend had come online on the xbox and he wanted to talk with him through the Kinect. It being 3 o'clock in the afternoon with me still wearing my pajamas, I could see perhaps why he would want me out of the line of sight of the Kinect as I may embarrass him, had his friend seen me. Although, later I entered to find that there was in fact no video occurring but, rather, my brother was standing on one side of the room shouting at a blank screen while it emitted faint gurgles back at him. I still cannot understand why he could not simply pick up the phone and call said friend, because I'm certain it would be of better quality than what he experienced. But I suppose, it's the novelty of the idea - I still repeatedly turn on and off their television because you just need to wave your hand in front of it and it is quite exciting.
Perhaps I am just grumpy and old fashioned.
Have a fun life
