It would be nice if some of the younger generation would wake up and actually want to learn from some of us Old School thinkers and doers but I don't think that they are capable of doing anything other than walk around with their heads in their 5th point of contact thinking that they are entitled to the world that we, and those before us, have created for them.

Soap box dusted off now.

 

Just so you know, I have never told my age on here, and I could be older than you think, or much younger....Number of times around the sun does not reflect wisdom or experience. Wisdom and experience come from doing things, not watching them done on a screen.

As a college prof, I'd have to argue the point.  I've had plenty of electronics students that very intelligent and able to do and comprehend things that took others a much longer time to accomplish.  I've yet however met a young student possessed what I would define as wisdom.  Experience alone comes from doing things.  From learning to avoid the mistakes (usually from having made them) that others less experienced are inclined to make.  Wisdom on the other hand, in my humble opinion, develops as a mix of one personal experiences and the observations of the experience of others coupled with an insight as to why people make the decisions that they make.  To be wise means not necessarily to be a student of a craft, but to be a student of life as well.  Now I'll get off of my soapbox too, and perhaps wisely so.
