It'd be helpful if kids actually got a greater chance to see things like where their food came from or the factories where the things they use get made. Our modern economy cuts off and hides much of the world and gives them a filtered, fake sense of reality. When you consider the kids are stuck in a fake reality, it seems obvious it should cause mental issues.
- paulcole 8y agoWhat farm and/or factories that you visited had the biggest influence on your life?
- ObsoleteNerd 8y agoI've visited dozens of farms and factories, and they without-a-doubt inspired me to become a geek in the first place. I absolutely loved seeing how things worked as a kid, pulling things apart, and growing up with a technical dad who took us to farms and factory tours and stuff. Seeing automation at factories is what got me into robotics and science fiction. Seeing the awesome machines at farms (massive tractors, trashers, large scale crop watering, etc) blew my mind, and got me into mechanics and vehicle tech. I now hack on cars as my primary hobby (both mechanically, and electronically).
