When I was in college, Ben Stein was the keynote speaker at my university's state-of-the-university address.
He spent a solid 35 minutes ranting about Everquest. Now, I know that EQ basically destroyed his son's life, and I don't necessarily disagree with him about the harmful effects of playing EQ all the time. But, this was in 2010 and he was addressing a room full of mostly 18-22 year olds. I'm 100% certain I was one of maybe 4 or 5 people in that room who even knew what EQ was. If he had mentioned World of Warcraft, I think his point would have been more accurately conveyed.
He spent the rest of his time pandering to southerners and defending Richard Nixon.
It was a weird night.
