I've found the secret to effective eternal youth.
It's not a pill, an elixir, a food, a flower, a font or any of those boring old trick answers, like "eating right" or "exercise more". It's probably under your nose right now and stuck into your eyes.
It's communicating. Seriously.
In between my duties for PlayFirst (organizing pixels into collectivist bargaining blocs, putting the dis back into dysfunctional, and the man back into mandatory fun) I spend a lot of time hitchhiking on the internet. Thumb out, destination sign in hand, hip swiveling and showing a little leg.
I watch the semi-trends barrel by, pushing a cushion of hot air ahead of them. I see the little hatchbacks of yore limping along in the broke-down lane. I could set my watch by the rush hour gridlocks ticking by as everyone tries to go where everyone else is going, do what everyone else is doing.
So now if you can picture it the way I see it, see the multiple lanes of traffic full of vehicles whizzing back and forth, maybe wrap it up in an overhead view and remember back to the classic game, Frogger, you get an inkling of what I mean about communication being the key to youth.
Here, I'll spell it out further.
If the means of communication have become a barrier to your communicating, you are officially Too Old.
So what does that mean to you? Come back for my hints.
