Tech skills
As usual, a nice dollop of bollock[s] coming from the world of officialdom.
In other news:
Cats more savvy than their owners at using cat-flaps
Dogs more savvy at fetching sticks and bringing them back
Cows more savvy than gardeners at eating grass
Yuppies more savvy at driving BMWs than their bosses
A 6-year-old IS more savvy using various iphones and what-have-you. But this is consumption of technology. The 45-year-old might be a master system designer or programmer, responsible for designing the technology used by the 6-year-old, but not particularly versed in or interested in being versed in using such technology to enhance/dampen his life. That's OK.
The problem is this: will this alleged 'tech-savviness' lead the 6-year-old to want to explore further, and him/herself become a master system designer or programmer? Or will the availability of countless convenient devices and applications designed by 45-year-old master system designers or programmers lead the 6-year-olds to grow up in such a comfortable and convenient environment that they wrongly believing that using iphones and what-have-you is the be-all and end-all of tech-savviness?
