Three questions:
1) Would older generations really have been all that fascinated by computers as toys? because as toys, and without the constant development, they're hardly as dynamic as physical toys. along the same line of thought--would smart phones and touch screen gadgets be cool if they were voice commanded instead of touch, because doesn't the act of touching them add to the fun because it satisfies some childish pleasure?

2) Is there any better way to overcome assumption than intellectual examination of scope of knowledge, point of view, human interaction, and the act of experiencing life from as many different positions and perspectives as possible?

3) Doesn't most conflict arise, not out of true hypocrisy, but out of a lack of self awareness set against a failure to compare?
