70 years old.

You were going for a stroll unaware of what was waiting for you around the corner when suddenly a beaming shop assistant thrust towards you a Nintendo DS with the ever so famous Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training program.

You were naïve and innocent. You thought training on NES ten years ago (or 20 years ago to be more precise) would suffice. And it could have… But you never thought you would have to compete against the Doctor’s devious exercises.

And nowadays we can spot you in the Tube or in a restaurant, feverishly writing on your console, trying to decipher the cryptic questions. You’re not going to the gym anymore but you’ve become really good at Sight Training and the Legend of Zelda holds no secret to you.

You’ve offered a DS to your mother. She used to associate console with the words Game Boy and she can’t even start the DVD player but now she’s learning French and having fun with her Cooking Mama game. Your nephew clearly prefers Mario Kart DS to his homework but you’re hoping that Professor Kageyama’s Math Training will get him back on tracks.

The PSP could be a nice companion to your husband now that you spend all your time with your DS. He could use it in the train as well. So you’re buying him one for Christmas. At first you were clearly afraid of this extra-real car races when driving in town is so complicated. But you’re PSP-fluent now. You can charge MP4 and transfer your documents with dexterity.

To sum it up we can say that you forgot all about the tabloids, that you are the official DS Master and that train journey seem almost too short because you have no time to finish Level 55. The world is definitely upside down !
