kids are now growing up in a very technocratic world. they are familiarized with computers and the internet at a young age, and don't seem to have a sense of what life is like without these things.

public schools in america get big pats on the back for teaching kids technology and science. such things are obviously helpful, but the way in which these kids' education is guided along such a biased path is troubling to me. material development is out of hand, has been for years, and i don't really think the newer generations indicate any improvements in the future in terms of environmental conservation or making any real alterations to the government and social issues.

but the internet is often said to be a preserver of free speech and information - maybe the only hope for having 'real' news and uncensored views...

will the internet be consumed, monitored and moderated more and more by the powers that be or will it grow as a tool for the common person?

will we operate in a more complete sphere of anthropocentrism, or do future generations have some hope in liberation from our egos, our grasping for status, our disregard for nature?
