I just want to say..... my Dad's generation built airplane models out of balsawood that they covered with tissue paper and painted in layers. From plans. My generation built plastic models with Testors cement and saw the "snap-tite" models come out, with a reduced parts count. And decals instead of paint. Now kids don't build models at all and you can't even get 'em to use a coloring book unless it comes with $29.95 pens that paint in colors that would make Timothy Leary sick.

It's the ADHD generation.
