How far can we stretch our mind's cognitive abilities?

I heard the next generation is significantly different than our generation.?

I know there are some brain exercises we could do to increase cognitive abilities. But, the children between 5 & 15 can do wonders with these exercises. I witnessed over the last weekend in Atlanta personally. Kiran Chetry, former CNN Anchor was interviewing.

A kid that could tell the color of the balls shown blind folded. Then comes the ultimate surprise. Another kid could solve a Rubik's cube puzzle while blind folded. Yes, blind folded. Then a kid reads from a book. Guess!

I wouldn't have believed it if I wasn't there. Please checkout the video for yourself. The Brighter Minds demonstration?starts around 1:10:30 when they request couple of volunteers from the audience.

They have a program called RESTART, meant for adults. I am planning to start it. I am sure I won't be able to solve the puzzles blind folded or estimate our contracts :) . But, I am sure it would help with wiring getting stronger.
