lol, the generation of instant gratification, right now, where is that
charge card, jerky camera shot, flashing from scene to scene, plugged in,
tuned in...True multitasking, watching their favorite show, with an ipod
in in each ear, playing Nintendo and having a conversation with Mom.
"Yeah, I'm doing my homework right now." Oh, yeah, the books open too.
Watching a Shuttle approach the last mile to the Space Station and dock
is, well, painfully slow. Slow motion space walks just doesn't do it.
Liftoff is OK, but, how do you fast froward to Staging?
Yeah, Spamming, that's it. That will get their attention. Well, maybe,
for as long as it takes them to adjust their filters.

The article goes about saying that the new generation has little
interest in space, and more interest in web activities and electronics.
Personally, I am all for the internet, I use it every day, for most of
the day actually, same with electronics. Why the interest in space has
left the generation, though, has me mind boggled and a little upset. We
need exactly that, more interest. I have a feeling this is the
generation where we actually get somewhere in space, but it won't
happen unless we get some help.
I say we spam space-related topics throughout the internet! We could
also pay Google to send millions of sms's to everyone's phone in
America.
