I've always been a fan of Mr. Rogers. When I was younger, I actually considered him a friend. Its been a long time since I've considered him especially since I've been a teacher and an instructional designer, but having seen this speech by him in front of Congress, I've got a newfound respect for his work. If I can ever get back to the K-12 space I think I want to bring back that touching the spirit of the child that Fred states he tries to touch with his show. What's interesting is how he views the technology as both very powerful and can also be misguided. His concern really did pan out, between the RockStar Games and the Power Rangers, we really haven't progressed, but have regressed since this speech.
