Creating Posterity

I think a fun activity with little ones would be to find an interesting Wikipedia article everyday and talk with them about it.  You could even constrain the search by only choosing articles that were linked from the article from the previous day.  I think this would be much more educational and intellectually stimulating than (for instance) reading the cover story on the daily paper.  As a child, my own daily ritual related to the world included either reading the sports pages or watching Sportscenter.  I assure you there isn't as much diversity in blinding following the local sports teams everyday.

I will admit that part of the impulse to do Imageless was to concoct an elaborate backdrop of fictional stories and mythologies that would be appropriate for a young mind.  In the first season, there are definitely a bunch of stories that are PG-13.  There are others that are solid G or PG.  I don't think there are any R or NC-17 ones.  It would be interesting for me to go back and actually rate them to see how well I actually did at coming up with child-appropriate short tales.  I fear I may not have done as well as I hope I did.  Speaking of which... mark your calendars.  The next season of Imageless begins on Monday!
