When I was a kid, there was a TV show on TV about dinosaurs(that sitcom), there were other kid related dinosaur shows, there were movies like Jurassic Park, lots of dinosaur toys in general, and school field trips would be to dinosaur museums exhibits, etc.
Now there's none of that on TV or movies, I never hear younger kids talking about it or going on school field trips, etc.
It's like we've stopped caring about it in favor of other stupid stuff, but as a kid the subject always fascinated me.
when i was a kid my mom took me and my sister to the library and i would carry as many Dinosaur books to the check out counter as i could.
the Librarian would look at me like and tell me that i could only take out 3 books on the same subject at a time ...i loved and still love Dinosaurs. i can't wait until we clone one of those fukkers.
