You'd think that with all the advancements made in technology in the last couple decades that have made life worth living (Thank you Netflix Streaming) that the children of the millennium would be more apt to go into science or tech.
But no, they are just as stupid and idiotic as we are.
But I have a dream that one day a generation of children will come of age where they will look at math and science lovingly, in the same way that my generation looked MTV in the early 80's, and make the world, if not a better place, then at least a bit more interesting to live in (or, even better, make dinner party conversations much more palpable).
And the only way I see this dream becoming a reality, is if we, the older generation, walk away from the TV for about an hour a week and start involving these young kids in the kind of experiences that make deep, permanent impressions that last a lifetime.
And one of those awesome experiments is the Disappearing Spoon trick which not only teach kids about chemical reactions, but also illustrates the point that knowledge and belief can sometimes be illusionary and that we must always be open to change and the evolution of fact.
Heavy stuff I know, but seriously, it's one of those life lessons that had most reality stars learned it long ago, we could have enjoyed a world without the Kardashians.
