Jun. 20th, 2006 04:50 pmHow long will it be before there's WiFi in nursing homes?
Will MMORGs change the face of aging?
Online characters don't age, they gain experiance with none of the messy complications of getting old.
How will this effect the aging of a generation? When all you have to do is be able to twich a few fingers and you can unlock your other life from the confines of your bed?
Will this be positive, or negative?
I think about these things, on the long rides from Rohan.

And then there's this guy:

For $1500 you can give him a new home.
Flashy, nice structre, a little over his right knee(from the pict.,) but a nice show prospect.
Me without an income. Or any where to put him. Or the ability to teleport my sister down to re-hab him into what he could be.
6 months of solid training, you could turn around and sell him for 2x what you paid for him. This is the business CarKiller wants to get into.
Hrrph.
