Well, here's the rub:
Its great to have engineers, and we do indeed currently have an excess of jobs, but, if FIRST really proliferated throughout society as its goal states, we might end up having too many chiefs, not enough indians. The idea is that, if everyone becomes a techie or an engineer, society begins to devalue the artistic and athletic people, which are important to a healthy society.
As a rebuttle to that, I'd talk about animation, websites, etc. that encourage digital artistry.
