We often decry what's wrong with kids and young people of today. We feature a young man from India, Pranav Mistry, who is at MIT in Boston and a young woman, Rebecca Frank, aged 19, who is an engineering student at the University of Michigan. There is much known about the young man because he started the amazing S I X T H S E N S E user interface. If you take time to look at the video, we are sure you will be amazed. It's the future. The young woman is not just an engineering student, she is a linguist and a musician playing both the piano and cello. She knows Spanish, Italian and of course English. She spent her senior year in high school in Italy and learned Italian While in high school she was asked to write a report on First Nations People. She wrote it in one of their languages to the amazement of the teacher. By the way she is not First Nations.

Taking it upon themselves a few young 'would be engineers', journeyed to Jamaica to see what they could do. They took it upon themselves to produce a pure water system for people living in the mountains who had to take their water from a fast flowing, but polluted river. While the young Indian Man is already famous and sought after, the young woman will, one day, be recognized for what she will have done in the next few years. So, the few make up for many of the ills of the many That's the way it is and that's the way it has always been. Take time to look at the videos. We think you will be impressed.
