Amen to that, Dennis. I own an MSP (Managed Service Provider) so I am around all the tech gadgets all day. I live an breathe technology for 45-50 hours a week. I don't do on call anymore, and once I leave the office on Friday, the cell phone gets silenced and pretty much left on a table. My customers often say, "I'd love to see the inside of your house, I bet it is so cool! How is it all tied together and automated?" That makes me laugh, as at home, I am a Luddite. I have a crappy, bottom of the line wireless router, and the slowest internet offered. Nothing in my house is tied to the internet. I've read all the terms of service and privacy policy... I don't agree.

At work, when I interview someone, I make the write... yes write, steps out to solve basic problems. No resources. If they write the letter "u" instead of you, interview over.

I know every generation thinks the younger generations are exponentially dumber, but I really have never seen anything like the complete ignorance of our "educated" kids coming out of government schools. I guess the best term is functionally illiterate.
