Yeah, it really does depend on what the situation is. we can build planes, and fly, but the design for planes was bird wings. We have to study what animals do naturally in order to mimic them.
Yes, I am not saying the youth of today cant enjoy their own entertainment. I am getting old yes. But I look at my focus as a kid, and had no clue how important education was, and while art and entertainment are fine, kids really should put education first as well as their parents.
Yes lots of technology is inspired by nature, but that human ability to adapt and mimic nature in technology does not make our adaptations superior, just different. There still are other life that is far better at reproduction and survival under certain conditions. The water bear has survived all 5 mass extinctions. A nuclear war by our own hand could wipe us out, but climate change without that could do that, and while the meteor that killed the dinosaurs didn't kill all life, if something the same size it now, because we don't have a meteor defense system, that most certainly would kill off humans.
