We're seeing how the videos translate to the live shows and how the technology is really reaching kids.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Kids are much more intuitive these days. Not that I'm crazy about what's on TV, but they know so much these days.
What I like to say is that we're trying to develop a new generation of technologies that are worthy of the next generation of kids.
There's a lot to be learned about how digital media, the ability to reach anybody any time, really transforms the peer interaction experience in education at large.
It is the child's understanding that teaches the adults the way of the future. They're still doing it today with modern technology.
Just look at the messages today's media are sending everybody, from TV and commercials to actors and singers. Kids are just drowning in that 24-7 and it's getting really bad.
We have an amazing advantage right now in that we have developed technology that is so sexy, so engaging for kids.
Kids automatically teach each other how to use technology, but they're not going to teach each other about the history of democracy, or the importance of taking their voices into the public sphere to create social change.
Today, children are watching more and more television, and are bombarded over and over with images and content that have the potential to dramatically influence their behavior.
So many times, these kids know more about the technology than their parents. And so many times, we're putting kids in very adult situations and expecting them to behave like they're 40 years old. Well, that's just not going to happen.
It's not good enough for us to have generations of kids that... look forward to a better version of a cell phone with a video in it. They need to look forward to exploration.
