Yea, and I will tell you something else. Our kids are spoiled. They want it all now, and don't want to put any extra thought time into their jobs then is necessary.

They have also lost a lot of creativity, in my opinion because they joy stick and get spoon fed by TV. I have a few foreign born employes who when a problem arises come up with creative solutions, one when we had a critical part break that was "no longer available" made one up on a little hobby lathe. I think when as a kid when you play in the mud with a couple of sticks you learn to develop some imagination, and creativity.

Several years ago at my daughter's birthday party I decided to have a little treasure hunt. I made up directions that would require the use of a compass. Only one kid out of 25 17 year olds knew how to use it.
