Super Mario brothers were those Italian plumber guys from the arcade Donkey Kong games, right? Aren't they supposed to be the most successful game of all time? I mostly played shooters, or SEGA Kangaroo in those days, because Donkey Kong was always busy.

I was a pinball junkie, never really got terribly into the arcade games.

Nintendos are those Game Boy things my friends' kids got addicted to. I think kids today are addicted to iPads instead.

My kids/cousins would provide anecdotal evidence to the contrary.  Gameboys/ipods/ipads are about 50/50.  With the older kids tending to lean more Gameboy for 'deeper' games.

We are no longer particularly in the business of writing software to perform specific tasks. We now teach the software how to learn, and in the primary bonding process it molds itself around the task to be performed. The feedback loop never really ends, so a tenth year polysentience can be a priceless jewel or a psychotic wreck, but it is the primary bonding process?the childhood, if you will?that has the most far-reaching repercussions.
