  a. in the future, we will produce more medications that can have the same kind of revolutionary and positive effects that Ritalin has had on youngsters in the early part of the 21st century.
  b. in the past, we have not had drugs such as this available, but children and parents were self-medicating with other drugs that had similar effects.
