There's a current commercial about a guy using a smart phone to live stream how to change a flat tire. I shake my head.....
This thread reminds me of an article i was reading a while ago, about how each succeeding generation is lazy, stupid, etc. The article contained quotes from other sources thru the years. I got fooled a couple times as i thought a few of the quotes had been from recent years, only to find out was from 100 + years ago.
I retired at the end of the 2007 spring semester. I do miss interacting with students. These days, most of my friends are senior citizens -- we can't carry on a conversation without feeling obligated to inquire about each other's health.

I sensed the direction we were headed years ago when younger folks could not make change at the store without the assistance of the "smart cash register".
I encountered one who could not count change even when the register told him how much change to give back.

A few days ago I made a purchase of 81 cents. I gave the clerk $1.01, and expected 2 dimes change. He used his calculator 2 or 3 times, then gave me 1 dime, 1 nickel, and 5 pennies.
