This picture is hilarious. I can barely write because it’s distracting me with its hilarity.
The topic for today is nerdy babies and the popularity lately. Many people around me are having babies – I’d wager that it’s the perfect storm for babies and we’ll see the result in the census results 5-7 years from now.
Gen X’ers have expressed their angst and apathy with the world, and now their rebellious and creative outbursts have landed them decent jobs (partially due to baby boomers retiring en mass). The financial security which these jobs offer now leads them to consider having a family. At the same time, Gen Y is bored with working for the man and feels that a life dedicated to working is no life at all. Struggling to find balance, many focus on relationships and family, and still more have the ‘oops’ moments where it may not have been planned but they make the best of it.
Ok, enough psudo-analysis. The commonality between these groups is that we now have the largest emergence of geeks with families we’ve ever had, and this gets passed down to the babies. Obviously, babies can’t be nerds yet, but there’s no sense in fighting genetics either… There are already some really funny nerdy onesies out there. I’m really curious to see what the next generation of toddler toys will be. Massive Multiplayer Stroller Games (MMSG)?
