I love the "get of my lawn" feel of this thread!

My boys range in age from 5 to 12. The older ones do not deliver papers, this is true. But they are online with their friends, making gaming videos on Youtube. Some of them are making money on this. A few of these guys are trying to see if they can money on elance or other small jobs sites. These kids aren't even teenagers yet.

My point is that the kids today seem very very bright to me. They were all born with access to the world's knowledge at their fingertips. They seem inquisitive and know that every question can be answered easily by Siri or Google.

I compare myself at their age and marvel at how quickly even my 5 year old is grasping seemingly difficult concepts and vocabulary.

I look at these kids and marvel at how much more they will accomplish, and more efficiently, in their lifetime than we ever did in ours.
