OK, the Holidays are over and the resolutions are about to begin. Before the endorphins from all of the new exercise kicks in, I thought I would take a tiny moment to reflect on the season.
The one thing that really struck me occurred on Christmas morning. The boys were opening their gifts from Santa and playing with their new Nintendo DS games (we love Drawn to Life - kids have to draw everything they use in the game...), training a talking parrot, and downloading songs to their iPod Nanos. My dad stopped by to pick up my brother Steve, when the thought really hit home.
I couldn't have imagined the toys/gifts that Santa brought my kids when I was a younger lad. I really would have loved something that had my favorite TV shows and songs that I could take anywhere. I'm not sure I would have been into a talking parrot, but it's still pretty cool.
Imagine what Santa will bring my grandkids in 20 years...
holographic gaming systems?
personal avatars?
robotic pitching coaches?
mobile personal servants?
Maybe everyone will get a personal hover/space craft like in the Jetsons...
