"Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" was a great way for kids to learn about geography, at the same time planting the seeds of a lifelong interest in understanding and exploring the world. I think I probably played the earliest version of the game when I was about 8 or 9 years old; I'm now in my mid 20s and have spent time on every continent except Antarctica. I can't credit it all to this show, but it certainly made an impact.
It's important for kids to become aware of how big the world is, and that we are living on just a small part of it. I would love to see the show and/or computer game come back.
