And I think that that's a pretty amazing thing.
An important friend
I remember when the movie Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One came out, or if people read the book, I remember thinking, you know, a lot of what our students are doing, a lot of what our young people are doing right now may be closer to what the future might look like.
So we're holding on to this past of what socializing used to look like.
You call someone on their house phone, you ride your bicycle over to their house, right?
And hopefully you live near cool people because you're only allowed to ride your bicycle so far.
But now young people can pick where they want to be.
They can pick how they connect.
So it used to be you hoped that you were in a good zip code with cool people and you could develop your interests together.
Now kids are developing their interests way faster.
They can take free online courses.
They're reading books at a very young age.
They're going deep, deep, deep into Wikipedia and Reddit polls.
And then they're finding people who have the similar interests.
It's almost like an accelerated life if you think about what we do as adults.
Maybe we go to school.
We go to graduate school.
Maybe we connect around our profession and we ultimately...
build friendships, or maybe in college.
A lot of our differently wired, twice exceptional, gifted students, they're really doing that at an early age.
