I saw this on the front page too and thanks to Hubski Discover, saw that it had already been posted!

I am a little pessimistic about the solution. The only way people will change is if they understand the necessary evil of having to spend quality time learning something. A lot of people don't enjoy that because frankly, the general public is lazy. Is this a broad generalization? Possibly. But from what I've seen through the lens of a college student is that too many people want to be fed baby food so that they can continue being distracted through Facebook, the Chive, and other "social" avenues.
