[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by bcammack I think that we have propagated over the past forty years a lack of imagination in the new generations. How? Television, movies, and computers, mostly. Jim Murray touched on this in his closing paragraph above. We have spoonfed our population sights, sounds, and entertainment forms that obviate the necessity for a well-developed imagination. [/quote] I whole heartedly agree! We do not have cable or satellite TV in our household, just the DVD and VCR for occasional movies. Nor will we have video games and other brain-numbing Intendo/X-Box-esque garbage that stunts our children's creative play. Unfortunately, there are two entire generations with blunted imaginations in the 30 and younger age group. However, it's not hopeless. Jim Fugate is right: people like trains and public displays will keep the hobby thriving.
