You've highlighted something that's very real - sadly it crosses political boundaries. The current generation of 20-somethings grew up with computers, video games, and cell phones. Other than sports, their entire existence has revolved around electronic devices. Most of these folks are literally incapable of interacting with the physical world. They can't find a screwdriver, much less use one without stripping the screw head. If there's a plumbing leak, they don't look for the valve to shut it off, they look at their phones. It's really very sad. 40 years from now, plumbers will be able to charge anything they want.
