    But both cursive and manual stick shift (at least in the USA) are being used less and less, but computers are being used more, while literacy goes down.

    I think it has to do with barrier of entry. Way back in the day, you had to be quite the hacker to operate a computer (say Amiga or ZX Spectrum). Then, with Windows XP (or 98), it became easier to operate one, but some tasks still required clever ways to solve. Fast forward to now, all you have to do is click one icon at the bottom bar, write what you want in the top bar, and you got a billion answers.

    Most of the stuff I learned was because the path to successfully perform stuff required knowing lots of different stuff.

    For context, first PC was Win 98 when I was 7, born 1996.

    Doesn’t matter to them. But hey, I’ll gladly see them burn to the fucking ground or re-hire for 20% higher while having to give a month or two for people to find out all the hidden gems in the software with noone to explain it to them.

    Wake up 9am, get a cup of joe, some pastry, take a mandatory shit, work for two hours, arrive to office just in time for lunch with colleagues, four hours of work, go back home, work some more if needed.

    And still be more efficient than being forced to work on site and being watched by your boss all the time.
