Growing up, our generation didn't have the internet and we were required to read books, talk to a librarian, and work with a group of people (sometimes multiple times) to gain knowledge faster.

To learn something hands-on, we had to speak to someone directly and interact with a person physically to learn something. Think hunting, fishing, welding, fixing a vehicle, sewing, cooking, dancing, etc. We didn't have YouTube.

Because we were forced to interact with others regularly, we were required to learn how to communicate professionally to prepare us for the workplace, to have conversation, manners, etc.

Today's younger generations do not have the same skillsets by the time they are young adults.

It was a different time.

I see this in myself sometimes and I get so pissed about it because I know it’s an element of weakness. But there’s a steady movement against this sorta thing. It takes time but we’ll all start talking again.

I don't see it in all young people, of course, but there's a wider gap, it seems.

Yeah it’s easy to target the young with this but honestly I’ve seen many adults that are no different than them darn youngsters! It’s really a cultural phenomena more so than generational in my opinion
