The last two weeks have reminded me that I'm old and I blame Pokemon Go. I'm a half-generation too old even to approach it as a nostalgia item. Also, the MSD (Middle School Daughter, for those of you that had forgotten) is too tied up in UnderTale and listening to 8-bit soundtracks to care about Pikachu and friends. No, my generation got Garbage Pail Kids and ain't no one making a phone game out of those.

So, I'm old because I don't want to go chasing around the southwestern american desert in the summer racking up data charges looking for virtual cockfighting contestants. Instead, I want to look at the whole phenomenon as the first real use of Augmented Reality in a marketing campaign.
