Sputnik is the first of its kind and because of it we had advancements that brought us together toward opening our eyes to the future and conquering new possibilities. It symbolized the future for us and it opening the door to opportunities we all did not think about before. As of now, people feel that since everyone has mobile devices, computers, tablets and so on, that we are technologically advanced. Since they are satisfied with Now more than ever people are more technologically advanced than before and some may feel this automatically makes them scientifically advanced. Some people can misinterpret being technologically savvy for being well informed int he science world. However these devices serve personal gain or satisfaction such as with networking and wireless connectivity made easy. This does not provoke the drive to discover what can go beyond in science education and advance us. Sputnik sparked that attention because it was the first, so I feel we need another Sputnik to drive us into action again. The war we are in right now brought the nation together against an idea rather than for something like a Sputnik that represents the advancement of science but more significantly the opening up of opportunities. What do you think?

Maybe our Sputnik will be some form of genetic breakthrough.
