I made the same thread in 2009, let me just post my op here for reference 
There have been many articles, about how the future of gaming could, would, should be like.
But the question I am asking is: what about the future of the gamer?.
We all know old people don't play computer games, although the Wii may have changed this a bit, but its a simple fact, that they have not grown up with Video Games, like todays generations.
How do you see yourself as a gamer when you grow old?
Do you think you will just stop playing games at some time because you are too old for that, or maybe just lose interest?
Will you keep up with the latest technology?
i think i will probably sit in a retirement home with my Playstation 8, talking to my Eyepets, ranting about the virtual worlds all the young kids play in today, since that is NOT real gaming anymore! Going on about how the PS8 was the pinnacle of consoles, and everything since then is simply inferior! And I keep arguing about it with my roommate and his XBOX-Infinity ..and milos son!
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
