For those of us who grew up on Mr. Rogers, it's difficult to imagine any sort of modernization of the man. In fact, that might have been part of his appeal. Gentleness, patience, an insistence on tolerance and acceptance are not things that necessitate an updating. However, PBS, which brought us "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood" from 1968-2001, has poked a hole in that theory. The company partnered with Symphony of Science's John D. Boswell to create an auto-tuned message about creativity and learning called "Garden of Your Mind."
