"They may even be recalled as the generation who lost that great American heritage, forever."

I have now finished the book and reflecting over the entire thing, I have come to the following conclusion: Something seriously needs done about the way our generation looks at school and learning. Something needs to be done about educational standards and teaching curriculums. Someone needs to find a way, not neccessarily to take away technology from young children and teens, but to make teens WANT to learn. Its just a matter of finding this mysterious "someone" that will change the country.
