I guess I am completely opposite of most. I think we have some of the smartest children around. I even have faith in the 20 somethings. They have had information at their fingertips their whole life and I believe are demanding more transparency in our government. In the near future these will be our elected leaders and have seen some of the greatest scandels in the history of our government. This generation has proven that they are willing to pay for high quality goods which will hopefully bring jobs back to America. I have faith in my generation (36) and in the future generations.
There was some quote I saw, unattributed, but it went "The average person today processes more data in a single day than a person in the 1500's did in an entire lifetime."
