[Linguistic quirk] Will people say "this is video game" in the future?

[tulasdanslos]

You know how when a piece of art has an impressive moment people nowadays say "this is cinema"?

(No, no *person* says "this is peak", only subhuman cattle. We're talking about people with an IQ above 95)

So, in the next 20 years when film as a medium is well and truly dead, will alphies and betas say "this is video game"? After all, video games are way more popular than film, and those human beings will have grown up in a time when the silver screen is irrelevant.

Just wanted to propose this thought experiment. Normally, when I get a cancerous thought, I pass it on, as if it were a cognitohazard, e.g. you lost the game. iykyk
