some of those old cartoons without the "childhood wonder" arent that great and wouldnt survive 2 episodes today.
People forget many things exploded with popularity mainly due to the fact there were so few options to choose from.
Today we;re flooded with options.
The children being raised today have a tough task, but in a good way. We can only hope they make the right decisions in where they direct their "wonder".
Growing up ('74) we were filled with wonder because these instant avenues of information didnt exist, so we were left to make things up and imagine.
Now with instant gratification in the learning realm we we've quickly gone from slowly being informed by others to informing ourselves as fast as we can take it in. Thats not a bad thing and shouldnt be viewed as such. But it needs to be used wisely.
Kids growing up and learning today dont need to spend hours, days, years finding out information at a snails pace. They can plow through it as fast as they want for the most part. The trick is them learning to direct their knowledge in the right direction.
The world seems to be at a turning point. We've gone from begging for information and entertainment at a faster pace to not being able to keep up with it and becoming desensitized.
Filter out the ____ and focus on the important facets and todays children can solve the world's problems MUCH faster than my generation could even consider.
...... wait ... I think I went too far with the topic.....
