(53,410 posts)We need the energy, the vision and the drive of the newer generations. We need the emphasis put on the future and not continue to be dragged back to a past that never really existed. We need the people who can take on the big issues of saving the planet and new kinds of relationships in the world.
I remember the energy infused into our lives by the election of John Kennedy who is the youngest President to be elected and to see how we actually went to the Moon. Even if that project was pretty much abandoned it brought such a cornucopia of advancement to science which is still going strong. We can never overestimate the impact of science on the last half century. I'm talking about medicine, electronics, nutrition, etc.
I love our modern world of electronics and social media and connectivity and would love to see the surge of energy that would come from people who grew up with it. We will see astonishing and great things and i want to live to see it.
