Skills are degrading everywhere! Cashiers cannot make proper change, all manner of people are clueless as to basic information since they can always ask Alexa, Siri, Google, etc. All manner of pilots are distracted by dealing with "Systems" while forgetting basic "Seat of the Pants" flying skills. I always make it a point to play with the gizmos on the ground and concentrate on what is outside the cockpit when in motion.

As for the impending ADS-B deadline..., I've never seen a buzzard with a transponder attached to it! Bird strikes can ruin your day (had 2 over the past 50 years flying).

ADS-B,
I helped a pilot mount That
2k dollar widget last week.
He’s going to swap it between
2 aircraft.
I’m still not sure of all
the particulars.

Don't get me started on medical education!
