			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today a friend&#8217;s friend Y was telling us about her 5 year old nephew. Apparently this loveable kid was being remonstrated at home, and guess for what. He bought the same X-box game twice on eBay. (He just won the bids, he didn&#8217;t pay for them, Y tells me amusedly.)</p>
<p>Now lets wait here for a frickin&#8217; minute. This is so wrong on many counts. What&#8217;s a 5 year old doing on eBay? Wait a frickin&#8217; minute more. How the hell does he even know what eBay is, let alone how to BUY stuff on the site? </p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t know what a PC was until I was 10. The internet didn&#8217;t exist. I walked to a neighbour&#8217;s home to make phone-calls. I first used a mobile phone when I was in college. I was doing a research paper on Google in my Engineering college, when it was just registered as a company, and people were just discovering search engines. Wikipedia and Web 2.0 is still WOW. </p>
<p>And there&#8217;s this new bunch of kids, for whom Google, Wiki, mobiles, broadband, wireless, eBay, cash cards, Pentiums are a given. Like TV was for me. Like radio was for my parents. </p>
<p>Goddamit. I&#8217;m already feeling old. And I&#8217;m just frickin&#8217; 25.</p>
