I think engineers have to be a voice to the next generation. They will never be as loud a voice as the world of entertainment or sports; entertainers are masters at it. Engineering will never be as loud a voice as the world of sports, but there needs to be a venue where engineers and scientists can show kids what an engineering career is all about. If professional engineers of the world aren’t willing to tell them about engineering, who will?

Im not really sure. There are certainly engineers, scientists, and other people that have communicated about the significance of science. Bradbury, Asimov, Clark, and Wells are four people that wrote about the significance of technology. Bradbury even designed Spaceship Earth in Epcot. I recently bought the original Iron Man comics. It sickened me as to how many times the word transistor was used. Transistor powered magnets, transistor powered skates, and even a transistor powered heart (read pacemaker). Then again it could have been because of the writing style of comics during that time. Personally then again there are times when I think that science is vastly undereported in this world. I was reading through my Almaanac and discovered that there were now five forms of matter. I wondered how did I miss that.
