yes i do believe that the spirit for learning, exploration, and innovation is lacking in the modern world today , and i think there are specific reasons for this kind of behavior. one of the most influencials is the t.v because usually what happens is that kids expend a great amount of their free time waching t.v instead of been reading painting or learning something that will help them in their future this is just what i think, other people might think diffenrently.
