In today’s New York Times, Google co-founder Sergey Brin discusses our efforts – through Google Books – to help people anywhere, anytime discover great works of history or rediscover history lost, like the electric car.

Sergey : It may be that one of the biggest problems in America is that the kids don't read anymore....they spend hours watching their own belly button ( and their friends)at Social Networks , but reading ? searching new info ? discovering new things ? naaaaaa !

the last 20 years , the "Stupid TV" neocon lobby and with the "junk foods " lobby , they have succeeded and now 40 % of the American People only knows about the "players" at the games and the "movie star scandals", they don't know anything else ( besides all the medications they need to take to control the junk food effects) , and D.C. is not doing anything either to stop the stupidity push : a dumber country is easier to manipulate....

In my opinion, you have to develop a "game" approach to reading and learning, a new way to excite the kids into reading and learning,a "social site and video game" way to show books and reading material, a new interactive way....good luck, the future of the country depends on our people's culture, and so far, we are stuck on a " new pimple at the celebrity's ..... nose " level, what a shame !

And it's like solar ,wind and new batteries-fuelcells energy, the kids need a sample in every school to see how their own gizmos charge-up, and then they say : whoaaaa ! it makes my mobile phone work...i like it ! cool !
