Or rather say, the skill set required to succeed in the current society cannot be gauged by metrics that was considered important decades ago. Not able to use a power-wash is fine, and can still lead a successful life, iff he makes plenty from a skill-set that is relevant to today's society. Similarly on mailing a parcel, given that most on-coming generation probably lacks snail mail experiences, and thus inability to post a parcel.

Instead, we should be more worried that the skill set that we were once proud of might no longer give us the edge as the next wave of change in our society is to hit us. Only if we keep our experiences relevant to the ever changing outside world, would we not become obsolete by the next generation. Or if some of you might recall how our parent's generation used to despises ours, but some quickly instead become obsolete and irrelevant in the competitive landscape. We definately don't want to end up in the same fate as the ones who refuses to recognize the next generation and become obsolete ourselves.

I guess my response was kind of ambiguous. I meant it's an individual case, can't say it's indicative of the entire generation.

I personally am more concerned that I won't be able to keep up once the next wave of social change hits and no longer can stay on top of the game. Even some of these web 2.0 monetization concepts sometimes already escapes me. Not as concerned that the next generation won't be able to handle themselves. In every generation there are ones who excel and ones who perish, I suppose the coming up generations will be the same. Holding the laggers from the next generation criticize it might make the prior generations looks smarter, but in reality, it's just a self comforting exercise.

That said, I do hope that our future generations will be better than ours and the past ones. In modern history, rarely does that fail tho.
