MemberAllosaurusFebruary 11, 2014In my life, practicially nobody shares an interest for dinosaurs. Some show interest for Jurassic Park the movie, but not actual dinosaurs. These are MY beliefs of why they aren't so popular.
1- Technology- Kids these days don't really get excited for dinosaurs because they would rather use iPads and play with video games all day. I mean I like vidoe games, but I see kids, ages 4 and up, just play video games ALL DAY. And it is all they ever talk about, so they really never want to learn about something else, like dinosaurs.
2- Hardly any good Dinosaur Movies- Wheneevr a popular movie comes out, what it's about or what it contains becomes popular. Like when the Hunger Games came out for example, all my firends and classmates could talk about was imagine being inthe Hunger games. There are hardly any good dinosaur movies these days to get people's interest in dinosaurs "back on." Maybe when Jurassic World comes out, hopefully that "spark" of people wanting to learn about dinosaurs will come back again.
3- No Adults to tell about them- My interest for dinosaurs started when I first watched Jurassic Park as a kid, and I think it was my older sister who told me more about them, which got me excited. I mean come on, I was a small kid imagining how it was like to see a HUMONGOUS T- rex walking around hunting for a "horned" dinosaur. I see hardly any older people telling kids about dinosaurs, except for the basic explanation of them. So all kids know about dinosaurs is "They were big reptile things that once roamed the earth 65 million years ago when an asteriod killed them." Of course they don't really know about recent eveidence showing that dinosaurs were actually just ginat birds, and not reptiles.
well, those are my personal opinions of why people and especially kids these days aren't really interested in dinosaurs these days. Heck, I rememeber when a girl told me that "Nobody cares about dinosaurs anymore!" And people around her agreed.
well, do you have any other reasons and opinions?
IT'S TIME TO DU-DU-DU-DU-DUEL!!!
