My Son In Law is hooked on video games. I'm certain that habit started when he was very young. He's good at it. That technology has benefited him in his Navy career on a Minecraft, guiding an 8 ft robotic vehicle underwater, dismantling mines while he sits safely at sea level in front of a screen.
While our Young People may fall behind in ideas and skills that we grew up with, their knowledge of technology and about what the future holds brings just as many promises that sone cannot fathom. They don't understand cash transactions because they rarely use cash and prefer electronic banking, for example. Whereas many from generations before them absolutely refuse to embrace the change in technology, relying on dying systems such as a dial phone and landlines
Our Young People may not understand or appreciate things in the past that we knew. But I have faith they will take us easily into the next century's challenges without fears, just as our generation took us to the Moon.
