“It is through our technology that we have been able to fly far away from earth to learn, in truth, how precious it is. It is no coincidence that our awakening to the special nature of our world and to its uniquely balanced environment and its limitations coincided with our first glimpse of earth from outer space, through the eyes of astronauts, television cameras and photographic equipment.” WorldFirstsHas BeensEyeAbleEarthSpaceTechnologyEnvironmentSpecialTelevisionCamerasEnvironmentalAwakeningLimitationOur WorldFar AwayBalancedCoincidenceEquipmentGlimpseAstronautOuter SpaceThrough The Eyes Author:Dixie Lee Ray

“Today's children are living a childhood of firsts. They are the first daycare generation; the first truly multicultural generation; the first generation to grow up in the electronic bubble, the environment defined by computers and new forms of television; the first post-sexual revolution generation; the first generation for which nature is more abstraction than reality; the first generation to grow up in new kinds of dispersed, deconcentrated cities, not quite urban, rural, or suburban.” FirstsKindChildrenRealityTodayFormGrowsChangeCitiesGrowing UpEnvironmentGenerationsChildhoodTelevisionRevolutionComputerDefinedPostsBubblesUrbanAbstractionMulticulturalSexual RevolutionDaycare Book:Childhood's Future Source: Childhood's Future
“People are more likely to search for specific books in which they are actively interested and that justify all of that effort of reading them. Electronic images and sounds, however, thrust themselves into people's environments, and the messages are received with little effort.
