Nice post. I posted something similar to this yesterday. We need to teach the next generation to question everything. Not just regurgitate what they "learned" from a textbook. Ask questions and teach yourself the answers. I find people now always dismiss doing something because they don't know how to do it. There is only one way. Teach yourself.
Even when I tell people about steemit they tend to dismiss it because they don't know anything about it and are scared to do some research on there own without it being handed to them.
