Sugar Water, Maybe Not

This blog post is in response to this article on Tech Crunch.

While I agree that maybe this generation is not as great as the generation that put men on the moon, we should step back and look at all the world has today.

Genetic engineering, space telescopes, quantum mechanics, a private space industry, more media available today than ever before, the world wide web, inexpensive, but powerful computing power, networks that allow people to share their lives with anyone just about anywhere, and the ability to express oneself to a world wide audience without the approval of a network executive.

All in all, I would say that a lot has been accomplished. Hopefully, tomorrow will be even greater.
