I'm not sure imagination is going the way of the Dodo. The one thing that gives me hope is that the intense popularity of books like Harry Potter. It only takes one good book to get people to appreciate the value of their own imagination. It was like when my mom bought me the D&D basic set back when I was six. The whole D&D world caught my imagination and I was soon battling Rust monsters in the starter packss campain. I still remember the picture of that rust monster and how it would eat away my weapon if I hit it. Anyways, just something as simple as that starter pack started me on different ways of using my imagination and creativity.
Just my 2 cents worth.
