Lucas sometimes uses some terminology that is either computer- or game-related. Even a few years back, Lucas could recognize, and even read, certain gaming words like "quit" or "save" or "continue."
When Lucas received his first ribbon in swim class, the first thing he said was, "Look, Mommy, I leveled-up!"
When Lucas draws, he calls the little people in the scenery "characters." And usually the scenes in his drawings are depictions of scenes from his games.
Last time we were at Great America theme park, Lucas won a Sonic the Hedgehog stuffed toy. He was so excited, but soon after that, he told me, "Mommy, we have to unlock Tails (Sonic's friend and the other prize he wanted to win) next time."

When Lucas and I play "Connect Four" he calls himself "player one" and me "player two."Lucas knows the word "calibrate" because the Play Station Move adjusts the player's body to the dimensions of the game.
I have to admit that if I did not live with these techie stags, I would probably still require a typewriter and carbon paper to write letters. Now I can publish documents as pdf's ( I know!), I can check my facebook updates on my smartphone (really!) and know how to manage a blog like this one! I wonder what these stags are learning from me?
