I laughed because just last semester my son shared that only he, among all his roommates, knew how to turn on the oven and cook with it. None of them knew how to sew.

I asked my son-in-law, a recent graduate in Computer Engineering, if he knew how to use a slide rule. He’d never seen one.

I notice that when the electricity goes out, all retail businesses close their doors. Sales stop. Because checkout counters aren’t equipped with pencil, paper and associates that know basic math skills.

America…the land of the Free and the brave. I guess that’s free and brave dependents on technology. We appear to be pretty much incompetent without the use of it. Which gives others who are, are great advantage over us.
