ZOUNDS! Someone Throw An Atari Party, Stat!
Pejman links to a post on
The Volokh Conspiracy that describes a story (whew! blogosphere lineages can sound like the beginning of a Viking epic, wot?) about
the life college freshmen know.
Particularly interesting numbered points (which technical writers know should be
bulleted since they do not define a prescribed
order):
9. Atari predates them, as do vinyl albums.
11. They have likely never played Pac Man and have never heard of Pong.
Zounds! Someone should start a charity or something. Perhaps some government-sponsored history of arcade games!
On the other hand, get off my lawn, you damn kids! I have video games and console systems older than you! Where's that garden hose?
