"I have a dream." These four momentous words that Martin Luther King, Jr. ushered in Washington D.C. changed millions of lives in infamy. Yet, those words constantly flutter in the minds of young innovators. They are the ones who imagine - and create - prospective designs and technologies for the rest of mankind. Even though there may be few Thomas Edisons and Steve Jobs of this era, great minds should be acknowledged and supported throughout their endeavors.
To understand the importance of bolstering new geniuses and their ideals, members of society must look back at history. For example, if it were not for Walt Disney, there would be no Disney theme parks and adults and kids to visit and play in. If it were not for Karl Benz, transportation through long distance would be deemed impossible because no cars would exist. As one can tell, the world would be - at least - radically different as it is now.
One formulaic question comes up without all these seemingly important devices: What happens now? People should not hinder helping out future Einsteins from their ideas. Revolutionaries - like citizens - have their own voices that have to be heard. Through motivation and support, collective work between revolutionaries would bring life-altering changes in worldwide society.
However, there might be a downside to a world full of self-proclaimed smarty-pants. Conflicting ideas, will, blatantly, conflict with each other. Furthermore, unfavorable, new ideals in forms of dictatorships or war equipments may rise once again. A battle between two sides can be imminent. Self-effacing scietists may battle the wits of altruistic philosophers. Despite the negative corollaries of a great influx of brainchilds, the positive results outweigh them.
So, when one proclaims "I have a dream", others assist them. Earth is like a test field, ready to be experimented upon by new forces of nature: intellectuals. One will never know the effects of their contributions to society until they try them out.
