Just a thought I came up with - you cannot do ANYTHING without computers or technology lately. Kids in kindergarten are learning computer skills. EVERY single job that you sign up for requires computer skills. About 15 Years ago anybody who had internet was considered "rich" or skilled.
What are your thoughts?

I agree as well, ak3600.
It seems like everything has to do with a computer. Except computers are dumb. They only do what they are told and nothing more. People at least have a brain of their own that they can use to answer questions, to apply learning skills. Computers have to be upgraded on purpose, (most) people upgrade naturally.
I wish it would go back to the way it was about 7 years ago. There were a lot of computers but you still needed PEOPLE to run those computers. Now you have one person run a computer that runs hundreds of computers. It's efficient only to a point.

You are exactly right. Kids in pre-school are using computer in their learning centers. It's unbelievable.
My first office job was in 1982 and I can remember in 1983 the office getting their first computer with Wordstar on it. I remember my boss was so excited because a 16 year old computer "guru" was going to show us how to use it. I can remember how cumbersome the program was.
