    Wait until we are old and need dumbed-down infomercials to explain 2060 technology.

    @Ron-Mexico: I miss the days of interlaced porn where every other line would fill in.

    This is great. I've been looking for someone who is experienced in the "Swedish Huck", and all of the people I've found on Craigslist weren't.

    Making fun of old people on Tuesday morning is going to cost Giz a lot of brownie points. That is more of a Sunday morning activity since I rarely check Gizmodo on Sunday mornings.

    We, who are jaded, may laugh at this, but for a first timer, I think its good. They use good metaphors that seniors will know (the claw/hot potato) and be familiar with. Once elders are on line, they learn by doing, which is the best way. Old does not equal stupid (just ask your grandma).
