I do have concerns about the next “Lost” generation, but isn’t every generation lost? I am at times terrified for my little one’s future, but when was there a time in history when it didn’t, now and again, seem bleak?
I’m inspired to see such a cleaver, hopeful video. Proof of the yin-yang of the opportunity inherent in danger.
Moore’s Law may be bleeding out of microchips and into our lives, but perseverance of hope gets us over the big dip that’s bearing down on us.
Thanks for the comment Phil. I agree about how every generation ends up being “lost” at some point. It’s the way the media spins things I guess. However, stats suggest this could be the first generation in a long time (ever?) that will be poorer and have shorter life expectancy than its parent generation…
