kids these days

conversations about where my sister kate will be going to college in a year have sparked some interest in taking a look at the choices kids are facing these days.  with the recent boom of social media as not only a pastime, but a bona fide industry; creating new jobs, platforms, ways to share and get information, and launch whole marketing campaigns,  it's true what people always tell you...we're training kids today, for jobs that don't even exist.  i always am impressed when i meet CEO's that are younger than 21.   technology has allowed anyone with enough time and brainpower to revolutionize the world.  i wonder what we'll all be talking about five years from now?  the crazy thing is that it won't be a slow evolution.  i'm sure it will be something completely different, and too mind blowing to even sit here and ponder.

fasten your seat belts!

oh, america!

ahh.  as i sat perusing the web this morning for updated news to jump start my day, i came across a clip that reminded me just how 'great' it is to be american.  a country that idolizes fame and fortune above all else, a place where anyone can achieve the american dream (whatever that is these days).  a place that others would give their family, possessions....LIFE for.  yes, we do live in the greatest country in the world.  a place where the  greatest quality of life can be achieved.  (but apparently, not the highest quality of education)  ahhh.  ignorance is bliss, isn't it?
