A funny cartoon picture from an Irish newspaper I spotted today:

-snip-

Basically there is an Irish tradition where at 12 or so your relatives give you some money, etc. In this cartoon the poor dad is scoulded for using cash when the son wants it in Bitcoin  Grin

That's one smart kid. Wink

That's what I figured  Grin
I'm not sure if I should be happy and laugh or feel sad about it. It feels funny because just as you said, their generation is probably going to be a generation of bitcoin users. By that, I mean many of them are going to be using bitcoins. It kinda feels sad because that's what the father can give and probably not be appreciated because 'it is not in bitcoin'.
Good publicity for bitcoins though!

I hadn't thought of that point before.  The younger generation(s) won't think of bitcoin as something strange like my generation does.  Just like email, twitter, etc.  Those forms of technology are easier to catch on to for people that are introduced to it at a very young age than us older people that get in to it much later in life.  Bitcoin could be a technology for the next generation more so than for people in their thirties and forties.
