“We baby boomers”
Nah, growing up baby boomers had the chemistry sets and the crystal radio sets. Generally we have good all-around tech skills.
The generations before us had far superior repair skills, they had more that they could repair.
Today’s kids have nothing they can repair to learn how things work. They have no opportunity to learn except in school.
I’m so sorry I posted my remark, lol!
Baby Boomers know everything about fixing anything!!!!!!!!
I would say that most of it is still there, they just don't get involved, bicycles used to be a starting point for boys, skateboards, lawnmowers, computers, building or constructing things that they wanted, fixing things that they already own, if they aren't doing those things anymore, then it is something else.
No one is asking them to fix the microwave or the computer on the car, but nobody asked boomers to do those things either, they just expected us to replace our own bicycle chain, and change a tire.
