The Rookie noticed a bored-looking grandchild-age boy while waiting in line to vote and thought “Voting is one thing that was cooler back when I was younger, because then we had a voting booth with curtains and levers and mechanisms galore, and now we just fill in blocks on a scan page”. The Rookie later saw another grandchild-age boy engrossed with a iPod Touch game and heard his mother saying “He’s 3 and knows more about it than I do”… and then thought “Well, never mind” :-)
