Obsolescence

Worried about obsolescence?  It's not just for electronics anymore.  I read a recent article about how quickly electronics become obsolete and I'm pretty sure that by the time I was done, all of my various gadgets were past their prime.

But what about me, as a husband or a father?  How long before they roll out the newer model and I become yesterday's news?  Too late.

Justin sat on the patio, fiddling with my iPod.  He was shocked to discover that it contained a small number of games.  Many were the snide remarks about how there must be some mistake since I am clearly too old to play games and that 90% of my music had no lyrics.  I started to protest in defense of the contents.

"I listen to it at work...and not in my free time...'cause I don't have any," I began.

"What?  I can't hear you over your oldness," he shouted.
