Terrific photo Guscha!...thanks for posting. History, or what little is being taught, appears to hold the interest of a very small percentage of today's generation. It seems that they are too focused on the technology of tomorrow and how fast they can get their hands on it...its' not entirely their fault though, it's what they're exposed to...they're simply programmed that way. How many kids do you see actually going outside and playing nowadays?...actually being creative with what they find to entertain themselves with? It's easier and more convenient for the parents to provide them with hand held baby sitters than it is for the parents to actually take the time to sit down with them and help them make something with those hands instead of pushing buttons...If there's any hope of educating future generations on the importance of passing knowledge down, then it will be up to those owners who have the ability to reach their children or grandchildren first and teach them second...generating the interest is the key...
