Over the weekend I spent a considerable amount of time playing the old school Super Mario Bros 3 with Hannah’s brother in law, Al. When I was a kid I played nintendo all the time. But over time as I got older and video games became more advanced and complex I eventually more or less loss interest. I like the old controllers with only an A and B button. It seems like the controllers now have 47 buttons and are identified by colors and shapes that somehow you are supposed to memorize.

I guess this just proves that I am in fact getting old because I find a commonplace technology among younger generations just too overwhelming, complex, and time consuming for me to master.

And yes, I know that image is from the original mario bros.
