People I know, people in my extended family, they push constantly to give their brains over to computers. They get away from analog like it’s an accomplishment

Of course people will forget how to do things if they stop doing them.

We'll still have chicken soup, steak on the grill, burgers, fires.

Frozen dinners didn't change a thing.

Oh it will. I am a cooking robot. I’ve been in the industry my whole life. I have ketchup for blood. I’ve seen more “foodies”who have no idea of nutrition or how to cook. When real robots start cooking, it’ll be ballgame.

ChatGPT gives people another reason to be lazy in brain use and body function.

I used to remember phone numbers, everyone did, before cell phones. Now, I can’t even remember my wife’s cell, because I don’t have to. Big problem when my cell’s battery charge is down, and I have to tell some else what my wife’s number is So, yeah, I agree, the more that computers and AI do for us, the dumber we get.

When I cook at home, I look at the instructions. Poke holes over the main entree. Remove film from dessert.

Years of watching mom cook seems to have done no harm.

Let’s play Ball! Robots against humans. I will bet on humans who have an imagination and are experienced chefs. Until robots have taste buds, my money is on a human.

People at work are amazed that I remember numbers. I use a desk phone so I use numbers a lot

You can remember them when you need to just like kids can add cashiers change when they need to

It’s the switching from analog to digital that people are so dumb about. They think it’s good to use just numbers. They don’t realize they take the time in their heads to translate back to analog

Dashboard analog clock- they gave me on in my 2025 car. Now I know what I’m doing

But they took away my dial speedometer. What an insane idea.

When we were in N California on 1.5Acres...we raised goats

And had the hides tanned to make great seat covers.

Many people have already forgotten how to cook. America is a take out/delivery/ prepared grocery store food nation.

A visit to the grocery store shows and almost endless variety of fully prepared or partially prepared meals. Warming up is all that is required. Cooking requires time that simply is not available.

I used to remember numbers also. But it’s been a long time since I have a need to. I respectfully disagree with your comment that kids can add cashier’s change today. When the cash register is down, they have to resort to a cell phone’s calculator. The math knowledge of today’s kids is poor to say the least, not all, but way too many.

I know what you’re saying. But after a week or so they catch on

Our computer system went down for a week we had to use paper like we did in the old days and we had to talk to each other.

It was brutal but we got better as we went along

Q: If robots are putting Americans out of work, why are we importing foreign workers?
A: For the same reason we brought in cheap labor when we outsourced factories overseas.
Statement: That doesn’t make any sense either.
Response: Are you a communist?
