A new study done by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, shows that teens are more optimistic than adults on what innovation will bring to our future. By 2015, 33% of teens believe gas powered cars will obsolete, as opposed to 10% of adults.

 

Teens were much more optimistic than the adults polled that innovations will solve a lot of the global issues. Such innovations teens thought would be solved: unclean water, hunger, disease and pollution. This was encouraging to those who conducted the survey considering the fact that the teens believe innovations in the areas of science and technology could solve these important issues.

 

But current trends are not likely to put many of these teens in the field of science and technology. Only 14% of the teens were interested in the field of engineering, and only 9% were interested in a career choice of science.
