Recently I’ve heard some people say they’re not going for IT A-levels because the industry is full/by the time we get there too many people will be good with tech stuff

Good to have confirmation that that’s a load of bull – looking around at people my age (16), I can see that there will always (for the foreseeable future at least) be a need for “that guy who makes complicated electronics work properly.

I used to believe that kids are usually more technologically competent than their parents, and that this competence improves with each generation. Then I got to teach a class to college freshmen. It was a sobering experience. Younger generations are as clueless as their parents (if not more). The only difference is that they use IM and Myspace – but they do it very ineptly and without understanding.

They are not as good at changing batteries either. Why bother if you can just buy a bran new item. Sigh…

I thought the associating .doc files with excel was bad enuff but the battery story now that takes the cake. If he had a kid he should have let his kid fix it. Kids can usually replace batteries. lmao
