You're going to get a lot of low energy responses about politics and religion, best to exclude those areas upfront. Outside those hopefully forbidden areas, talk to non-tech kids (most of them) about tech. Kids as in little kids not 22 yr old grads. My own kids have crazy ideas based on anecdotal sample sizes of one and childish reasoning (which is appropriate, them being children), about only white ipad charging cables work, very strange almost witchcraft beliefs about working around how the school district has locked down the ipads which often gets in the way of real work and fooling around, etc. Based on observation, giving non-tech kids lots of tech that required logical thinking to create has not via osmosis resulted in logical thinking appearing inside the kids heads, but has resulted in lots of nonsense superstitions about technology. I'm sure a hundred years ago my kids would sound like something out of the article WRT cooking fire lore and hairpin divination, but today their lives are full of ipad and internet, so their nonsense sounds very tech-flavored. Actually just talking to non-tech people about software patches, banner ads, malware infected windows machines, all that stuff is pretty entertaining WRT superstition. There is truth in "windows is voodoo" for a large segment of the population.
