Old People Games

Many of the elderly would say that Wii is a system for youngsters only. Old people say the darndest things. The Wii is all inclusive, and doesn't fit a certain demographic. The folks over at Nintendo have already started to look to Wiitirement; Wii Sports includes golf as a sport. However, I see the need for greater catering to the old people, and the fortunes they will leave behind when they die. Yes, it's time for Wii Sports: Old People, which could also be called Wii Sports: Wiikness and Wiisdom.

This game would lower the exertion level of the already non intensive sports played in retirement communities. Take, for example Wii Shuffleboard:

There would be even less effort to play shuffleboard then. For the elderly, this makes a huge difference (they could even "dress" the court by themselves), but for younger, stronger people, it still results in launching the little discs way off the back of the court. 

There are other obvious ideas for old people sports that could be in the game. Lawn bowling, or water aerobics (water proof Wiimotes!), for another. Heck, there could even be Wii Bridge. Card games can count as sports for old people. 

The bottom line is, the Wii is not restricted to the younger generation. It can help the elderly enjoy life too. The Wii reaches out to all ages.

Taxes

Taxes are one of the most hated aspects of life in this country. They are followed closely by accountants, who are also hated, but are sort of a subsection of the whole idea of "taxes." Imagine, if you will, how much better it would be if your accountant was represented by a Mii? A happy, three dimensional avatar who did your taxes for you?

Of course, not everyone uses an accountant. Some would prefer to do it themselves, and I'm sure the Wii could accommodate that. One could just put in how much they make, and point and drag various exemptions to their account. Wii Tax make everything about taxes better. No more W-2, no more Line F, no more incomprehensible tax forms. 

Unfortunately, I can see some serious problems with the Wii Tax System. Unfortunately for the rich, I doubt Nintendo will create "Tax Pwiiparers" who would be willing to create hidden accounts and "charities." "Tax Wiivasion" is just not such a catchy name. Also, the do-it-yourself idea has serious risks. Wrist injuries could inevitably follow those who get too carried away with their taxes. And those who don't put on the wrist strap could easily damage property in the heat of the moment. 

Nevertheless, Wii Tax seems like a great, exciting way to fund the government's need for useless big ticket items for us, the taxpayers. I hope the government will see the light and embrace it.

Politics

I think politics could be a part of society that could easily be made better by the Wii. Imagine how easy and how great voting could be. You just point at a name a push a button. Or we could raise our arms to vote for President, just like kindergarten. Oh wait, they've already made this possible:

Wii voting would be so simple that old people could actually understand this system, and I think they'd enjoy it too:

However, I think the best part would be that we could create a new party system. It could very easily be the Wiipublicans vs. the Nintendocrats. They would cover hard hitting "issues" like Console Care, Wiimigration, and Nunchuck Control. Incumbents could run for Wii-Election.

Imagine how great the infighting between candidates could be. Instead of actually bowling, Hillary and Obama could have had a Wii Bowl Off, and then followed it with an intense match of Wii Tennis! I'm sure there would be a lot of "accidental" hitting on wild swings. Wii could really make our electoral system much better than it already is. Let's all vote to make Wii the way of the political future.

As I was surfing the net, I found a picture. A picture made by a revolutionary who truly understands this issue. Since his work is better than mine, I'll let him end this blog (it's actually from a movie on http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Pokemon_Politics):
