Exploration from your computer chair

SDAI-Tech1 — 8/13/2002 12:17:33 PM (archived)

The next generations will be more indifferent to space and exploration as are most folks 25 and under today.

The planet Co Uchpotato has enslaved our young with clever video games and other time wasters. Millions play games in virtual reality.

The following word association test results for a typical 13 year old disturbed me:

WORD REACTION

Solar Solarr Destroyer of Kull

Galaxy Galaxyquest

Harmonic Harmonica

Wave Beach

Mars Mars Attacks

Science Huh?

Exploration Age of Empires

Space Yo, get outta my face

Journey Um, wasn't there a group?

Physics P.E.

Star Brittney Spears

Nova Um, an ancient Chevy?

Olympus Mons Jamaican Club

Moon A cool prank!

Van Allen Belts um Van Halen's belt?

Well you get the picture....
