Everybody remembers there days in school. With the nerdy little kids who always had to have everything perfect and always scored a 110% on there tests.
Well, what if sometime, deep in the futures of time, those kids are long and gone, and the generation of school kids don't really care.
Who's going to invent the cool new stuff?
Who's going to be good Political Leaders?
We can't have those fancy new gadgets if there is nobody incredibly smart to invent them...
The world may just end up being Royally. Screwed.
