Yeah, it's something that made me think of the age of the operating system itself, since that's been a discussion recently with Motorola.

To get imaginative, in a mode pf production beyond capitalism, though, I think the device level age locking would be pretty sick. I get that a lot of people had what they consider helpful formative experiences on the internet, but hearing about them, I think they are just nostalgic and those experiences weren't as valuable as they imagined.

Many will disagree with me because they haven't considered this is the only way to let adults play counter-strike without the damn kids in the way.
