| Seniors are Hip to the Wii |
| December 27, 2007 at 5:00pm |
You kids get off my virtual lawn!
The Wii seems to be a hit with the seniors.
If you weren't able to get your hands on a Wii this holiday season,
it may be because a senior citizen beat you to it. According to a
recent Washington Post article, retirees are foregoing the bocce balls and shuffleboard and turning
to the Wii for exercise and recreation.
They're finding it much easier to bowl on the Wii than to cart
around a 16-lb bowling ball. And playing a match of tennis on the
Wii is much easier than hitting the real courts after a hip
replacement. Many retirement centers are throwing out the bingo
cards and bringing in the Wii Nunchuks because it helps older joints
stay limber, stimulates the brain and encourages socialization.
So maybe you should be nice to that little, old blue-haired lady
down the street. If you rake her leaves or clean out her gutters,
maybe she'll bake you some cookies and let you have a turn on the
Wii. |
