The cover of today’s New Yorker magazine features the theme of a modern-day playdate where two girls are in the same room playing “Minecraft” with each other on their separate devices. My middle granddaughter, Heather, is a big fan of the game and so I immediately wondered if this is how she plays it with her friends. Maybe her mom will read this and provide an answer in the comments.

As more and more of our interaction moves online through games and apps, this really isn’t all that far-fetched, is it?
