Even Monopoly Ain't the Same!!

I was sitting on my couch this morning, just taking a break and watching TV when I came across a monoploy commercial, and it is new and improved. Now you no longer need a banker. Simply swipe your card and let the electronic banking system deals with the rest!!!!! Children can now get a head start on how to use credit cards and get the feel of EC early on in their childhoods. Initially I thought that was kind of cool, but then I remembered that monopoly was a game that taught you how to use your math skills as well as deal with money. Future generations will not develop thes skills in the same ways. But, you can't say it's not cool. ELECTRONIC BANKING FOR KIDS!


Check it out at http://www.hasbro.com/games/kid-games/monopoly/default.cfm?page=Products/Detail&product_id=19783

It reads "Wheel and deal your way to a fortune even faster using debit cards instead of cash! All it takes is a card swipe for money to change hands. Now you can collect rent, buy properties and pay fines - with the touch of a button! It’s a new way to play the family classic that’s been brought up-to-date with modernized tokens (including a SegwayÒ personal transporter, an AltoidsÒ tin, space shuttle, flat-screen TV, baseball cap and a dog in handbag!), higher property values and locations based on your favorite landmarks!"
