I actually wonder about this a lot. On the one hand, there's more tinkerers and access to open source libraries and information than ever. On the other hand though, it feels like there a lot more engrossing and ubiquitous entertainment that just takes the form of consumption instead of creation. I think about that a lot when it comes to video games. They satisfy that great human urge to expand, enhance and optimize their sphere of influence, only it's in a virtual world that matters very little. I know many of the brightest people I know still talk, in their 30's, mostly about video games.
