As time goes by, I fear I may become more out of touch with today’s youth. Most young people have grown up with the wizards of Harry Potter and have graduated to the Twilight vampires. I have neither read these books nor seen the movies. When these cultural powerhouses make their way onto the Jeopardy answer board, as surely they must, I will be totally lost. And by that time, the trivia which currently clutters my brain and sometimes enables me to give the correct Jeopardy question will become so dated as to be irrelevant. As it is, I am already past the demographic that advertisers are seeking to attract. So, when the television shows they sponsor become less relevant to a person with my knowledge and experience, I may be forced to turn off the “tube” (boy, even that reference is out of date) and read a book.
That is, if I can find one that’s still printed on paper.
