The Snowflake Generation

[Steve]

If you read my post properly you would see that the car was just an example. I'm not suggesting that car repairs will be essential, but that basic practical skills are being lost due to technological improvements.

In a perfect world it wouldn't be a problem, technology would keep on advancing and generations of humans would keep pace with it. In a post-crash world, some of those old skills could be useful - if we can't teach them we should at least make sure they are well documented.
