Damn these low power PIC and other Microcontrollers

I was about to post something similar to Luciano's.

Robots or electronics, or something scientific in general?
Are they supposed to be something good for the children for their future if they start learning about them today?

Who knows, may be these will turn out be something bad in the future.
Who can suggest to be a scientist rather then being a singer, or a soccer player, or a ballerina, or F1 racer?

Who can prove that one is better then the other? Based on what criteria?

As long as people make choices, No One Can.

As long as children wants to do or try something... there's no problem. Now most parent simply don't show them what they can do... it's endless.

My personnal opinion is that unfortunately, most parent now simply plug-them on their X-Box , Ps2 and stuff like to have peace. Nothing really interesting, nothing creative. When we was young, such thing didn't exist (or started).

Yes, parents MUST force (a little bit) their children to go out, have friends, do some sports... Yes, yes, yes! Children are not only cute... they're the future.

There's no better future job choice. Even money is not a good point. As long as they like what they do and they have enough money to pay their food, bill and some extra...

Hi keithdoxey,
Here is your opportunity to invent the remotely operated battery zapper! A device supported by beleagured parents and Grinches everywhere. Make sure the deluxe version works on Drums and Trumpets too!
