You know, Ron says that his dad is nuts for liking Muggle gadgets, but he's one to talk. Every time Harry brings up some sort of Muggle gizmo, Ron is facinated. Ron must be more like his dad then he thought.

He doesn't realize how much he's like his father.

It's really no different from Harry's wonder of magical items. It's all new to them, it's normal to be fascinated.

Harry is amazed over these things, but he doesn't criticize any one else for being amazed over these thing, either. On the contrary, he can't get over the nonchalance of wizards over these items. Ron, on the other hand, criticizes his father passion for muggle inventions, and then he shows an equal zealous amazement towards these objects. I'm sure that he doesn't realize what a hippocrate he is.

Ron never really critisizes his father for his interest in muggle artifacts. I mean, he thinks it's bizarre, but most wizards think that. That's why his positon at the Ministry is low and low paying.

i never noticed that...

but we must admit, wizards give muggles less credit than they deserve.
muggles have found ways to cope with life without magic... wizards seem to have taken such things for granted...
muggle education is more wholistic than wizard education...
muggles have even surpassed wizards with other things... information system, communication... and we've even gone outer space...
