The generation gap just isn't what it used to be.

A couple of weeks ago I watched this video, a weird lip-sync riff on Star Wars. Fine. A moment's amusement, sure, and on I click.

Two days later I went to a birthday party with my kids, and as the older kids were running around I hear one of the 12-year-olds murmuring the lyrics of this song to himself.

Meanwhile, what are they playing on the computer? Minecraft. I play Minecraft on my tablet too. Maybe not as much, but, still.

Did I hear an acronym or slang term I don't understand? Pop out the smartphone, 5 seconds on Google, "oh, yeah, that makes sense".

The generation gap just isn't what it used to be.
