Xbox For Your Grandparents
This is just awesome. A church somewhere is teaching grandparents how to play Xbox!
during a denominational retreat for retired ministers, a workshop session will be dedicated to teaching seniors how to play Xbox. Apparently, in a pre-event survey asking these retired ministers what kind of topics they would like to have addressed in the upcoming retreat, several of them mentioned that they wanted to learn how to play video games with their grandkids. Church Marketing Sucks
But when you think about it, it makes sense... in a weird sort of way. I would love to play a videogame with my grandfather, or even my parents. It's a great way for them to get to know their grandchildren better, and involve them in the childs own activities.
I wouldn't be surprised if my own grandfather ended up doing well at it. After all, he's already doing more with his computer and digital photography than my parents.
Anyone up for a seniors game of Halo 2?

That is pretty cool actually! I find that seniors are more willing to try these "new fangled" toys out ;)
It's a great way to close the generation gap for awhile, although I can't say playing Halo 2 or Doom is up there on the list of games to introdouce to my grandparents, were they alive. *laugh*
But it's an entertaining thought!
that is an intriguing idea, and i have to give credit to the grandparents who have the guts to take it on!
maybe i should take that course, too?
