Perspective: Something Hasn't Changed

Okay, so some people gripe about things. But let me ask you: would you really want to go back to an era of disease, war, hatred, and chaos?

So we all have these chips in our heads and are tied into the Apple infrastructure. But: everyone is stylish, good looking, and gets along. The world is elegant and easy to use. Everything is so easy to set up, we have more free time than ever…

This does bring up one thing that’s bugging me…

The other day, I went into my grandmother’s attic. We were cleaning her house out so it could be replaced by a glass-fronted townhome. While I was up there, I found a pile of brightly colored boxes. They had labels like Monopoly, Risk, something called Settlers Of Cataan, and a box full of flat bits of cardboard labeled Uno.

All these brightly colored pieces of plastic and paper! They look really cool! But I don’t know what these things are, and no matter what I do, I can’t use any of them.

I have no idea what to do with any of these things! Someone help me. Please!
