Reaching Out With Superpowers

For once I hope I’m wrong, but there seems to be a new meme out there that is gaining traction, known as the Superpower.

Now traditionally the term Superpower is reserved for countries having (lots of) nuclear weapons, or for a comic book character that can leap tall buildings.

Now everybody gets at least one Superpower.

But in its current incarnation Superpower merely refers to someone’s skill-set. Back in the day, we talked about our strengths and weaknesses, but now some people actually talk about their Superpowers. I kid you not.

If you have a strong stomach, here is a link to a NY Times article that documents a conversation between masters of their new universe.

But why quibble. The more I think about it, the better I like it.

Soon there will be no stopping me.
