    The era of the couch potato is upon us!  ROFL.
     
    I believe it's already here! Look at all the electronic crap we have now. Hell you don't even have to get off the couch to go grocery shopping anymore. All the kids know now is the computer / computer games. They bring caculators to class now to solve math problems. They don't have to think anymore. We can probably change that to the "Era of the Dumb Couch Potato" LOL.
