As a child I
spent many an hour situated in front of a television set where my young eyes
would absorb so many wondrous things. So many cartoons of the time were filled
with dynamic characters and interesting and well developed plots. A lot of the
shows that filled the airwaves of the nineties were educational and inspired
children to use their imaginations to dream up far off worlds and fantastic
stories.
Brudar and I
would spend hours of our child hood pretending to be the ninja turtles and
thusly is the only reason I know how to do stick tricks. Armed with a
broomstick and some sticks we would spend hours having amazing battles built in
our own minds. I suppose my healthy imagination is why to this day I am a huge
fan of role playing games that allow us to be any type of character we want in
whatever world we want.
We had
Barney and Sesame Street to teach us the lessons we needed in order to properly
use our imaginations. There was one show that we would watch that was steps
above the rest for teaching us however. There was one man who would inspire us
while wearing his colourful sweaters and sporting his red shoes, The one and
only Mr. Rodgers.
I discovered today that PBS the owners of the
rights to Mr. Rodgers commissioned a remix of the legend. It seems that the
television company finally discovered the Symphony of Science series created by
the Youtube user melodysheep, where he takes scientists’ who are discussing
different aspects of science and auto-tunes them together. No matter how you
look at it this is a great tribute to the man who inspired generations of
children to dream big.
