Dance Dance Revolution - In the Library?

That's right, you heard me. Dance Dance Revolution, along with many other un-library like activities (like jazz sessions and coffee bars), is invading libraries at an alarming rate. The Charlotte Observer brings us the story complete with photos of patrons playing Guitar Hero at the Main Library in the Charlotte Area public library system.

Along with the news that an Arizona library has chosen to axe Dewey, this doesn't seem to be a surprise in our emerging culture of comfortable-ness. Anything to make it easier on our kids and adults. Maybe they'll start teaching third graders how to hold a Wiimote to get a better toss on Bowling than worry about multiplication tables or perfecting that awful cursive writing. Soon, writing won't even matter. But I digress. For now.
