That people are more interested in their phones than the experience is just an excuse given by lousy designers.
Good designers MAKE people look up!
Disinterested people have always found ways to disengage. And I have found that most people who are addicted to their phones are very engaged with current events. Technology does neutralize "the berm" around the parks though.
Television, radio, and even newspapers all supposedly contributed to anti-social behavior and the loss of public morals.
Not to mention the news about the new prototype engine that supposedly breaks the records of any other engines in both efficiency,power and speed. So much that they claim it was "unthinkable as it seems to break the laws of energy and physics"I think that really depends on whether the discussion is addressing the technological capability, or the desire of the general human population to get the job done.
Our technology is astounding compared to even 50 years ago, and the rate of invention and discovery continues to accelerate. While we haven't come up with a solution for launches other that liquid and chemical rocketry, that's not an inherent show stopper. We went to the moon that way, and the refinement of that craft has only increased in quality since then. In addition, the baton has been passed in many ways from NASA to independent companies who are addressing space flight from a capitalistic viewpoint - one that historically gets things done. No bucks, no Buck Rogers and so forth. I really do think we will be sneaking up on the ability quite rapidly at this point.
In regard to the general desire of the species to accomplish these tasks? Yikes! We truly, by majority, don't have the motivation required. There's a reason that necessity is the mother of invention. Those that live in parts of the world that would be considered stable and economically sound are exposed to a higher level of comfort and distraction than at any other point in history. To wit, here I am on an Internet message board discussing topics connected to a company that provides leisure and recreation. That's a bit crazy if you take the time to think about it, but I don't recommend it. Those that live in destabilized parts of the world often have more urgent necessities such as survival to worry about. Of what value is space exploration to anyone when framed in that scenario? Ultimately, in both cases, it's hard to attract or justify the needed consensus of will to move forward.
So then, technology? Check! Rapidly closing in on our goals. Our global society? Ehhh....needs some work, we'll get back to you on that one.

He's a performer who happens to have some engineering training, which which makes him slightly more qualified than these guys...
Yup, I could dig Tyson, Brian , the physicist, not the actor and Michio Kaku all who are engaging, interesting, and who could provide "edutainment" up the wazoo for all ages.He's a performer who happens to have some engineering training, which which makes him slightly more qualified than these guys...
Despite what we would like to believe, these three are entertainers who act like scientists. Nye is an entertainer who happens to have a technical degree.
Now if you want true scientists who also entertain, you have to go with folks like this...
Unlike Nye, these are credible scientists who also know how to entertain (and who don't act nerdy in a labcoat to try to fit our stereotypical image of what a scientist should be).
I'm not criticizing them - just making a point some of them are purely entertainers (like Don Herbert was - look up his bio). So we need to be cautious when getting science advice from those who pretend to be scientists for a living.
The current ride capacity issue at MK has to be blamed on Burbank in terms what they did for New Fantasyland. The New Fantasyland expansion was style over substance. I wasn't impressed with the New Fantasy Land announcement in 2009 D23 and the changes Thomas Staggs make to that expansion didn't go far enough. New Fantasy Land to me was 1 or 2 rides short ride where it needed to be.
you forgot Vision's in AVENGERS AGE OF ULTRON.So...could we be looking at an Avengers ride for every pavilion?
