Yeah, they lose the old problem solving skills but acquire new ones. Most of those kids seem to be able to creatively accomplish things using apps that most of us oldsters would not dream of. It’s still a toolbox, but its a different set of tools.

How do they do perform with no power and dead batteries, vs. 35 years ago?
