The point didn’t need to be argued, but I was trying it anyway. I was attempting to illustrate my point to Robin that tech is the beat of the future — technology increasingly informs everything we journalists journal, from the environment to foreign policy to … gay marriage.

Only I was getting stuck on gay marriage. What does technology have to do with gay marriage? I briefly considered making a point about how maybe they’ll come up with a way for men to have babies, but I thought better of it.

Fortunately, Snarkmarket-approved blogger and top-notch techie Clive Thompson has a much better imagination than I do — and a better video game collection.
