and we're better off for it. Their grandchildren will be better off if they let them move forward instead of trying to trap them in an earlier era.

Technically true. I'm in "high tech". 7-8 years ago, I was getting big money for designing Web pages. It didn't take me long to figure out that with better software, that job was going to be minimum wage somewhere.
So I moved before the job did.

People who expect the skills they have at 20 to be sufficient for the next 40 years are always going to have a problem.
