Abstract

Like many I’ve had my eyes on the protests in Egypt and elsewhere in the Arab world over the past couple of days. The way angry young men and women are taking to the streets is a sign of things to come. Nothing symbolizes the fact that this is Generation Next Rising more than the widely used slogan “Game Over!” The generation who grew up playing video games and whose language incorporates international-video-game-English is turning against the gerontocracy.
