Hehe, well, I wouldn’t expect 5 year old kids to exactly be rolling in the money :) They will, like every other generation, find a way to make a living by utilizing the technology of the day once they get older.

Maybe it's because my generation (and yours) are geeks at heart and we're raising our kids to enjoy our own hobbies ;) Whatever it is, this next generation is going to come out with so much more than we ever thought of. @Ken

I've been creating web sites for at least 10-12 years now, ever since i was introduced to HTML in a word processing class in the mid 90's (remember, HTML was more for document sharing than anything else...how things have grown surprises me!). My daughter is two years old, and while i don't play wow anymore, i do still play some online pc games, and also have recently bought a wii and ps3...it amazes me how much she likes to watch. She waltzes up to the computer desk chair, pats it, says "papa, here!" in Japanese, and sits on my lap while i launch grenades at people in Call of Duty 4 (yes, i'm in the process of finding something interesting without explosions and death...but i really think the *boom* noises are what got her hooked anyway). And the other day i finally trusted her enough not to throw the wiimote at the dog...and she beat me in boxing. How did it happen? I have no clue...but she likes to twirl and whirl like she's dancing, and apparently that's a hardcore strategy to beat adults in WiiSports Boxing :) And the ps3 six axis controller? You can steer with it by just tilting it forward/back/side to side. She loves driving games. Sometimes i forget that she's only two. But even though my wife hates it, she's growing up to be daddy's little geek. Next up? Advanced C# programming for children! Cheers, Ken Nicole,
