We shall see. I think that there is a strange dichotomy in the younger generation between being degenerate (for the reasons you mentioned), while at the same time being very aware of the world. There is great access to the arts; lots of young people are environmentally aware; some are politically engaged. There is reason for optimism. It sounds like you are having a hard time recently with some life issues. Don't let that cloud your view of the world, as time can heal most wounds.
You'd say our generation is more aware of the world than previous ones?
In many ways, yes. We are having this conversation, aren't we? Others on Hubski are from all over the world. I didn't have that experience growing up. I think that for kids who know how to employ the technology to their advantage, there is an unprecedented opportunity to be as worldly as they can dream.
