Agreed with all your comments. I think the only redeeming thing is that with modern technology youngsters are now bombarded with more information and possibilities to learn and explore than I (we) were. You just hope they can filter out all the rubbish and overload it also brings.
I'm heading down south weekend of the 15th into NZ's Waikato farmland where my daughter and her family have recently moved. I am taking at least two scopes, there are still dark skies to be found but they are diminishing fast.
