LawrenceGarvin Posted August 9, 2013 Report post Posted August 9, 2013 Sadly, I suspect this conversation in the real-world might go in exactly the opposite direction. Today's students have a propensity to "figure things out" without documentation .. in fact, I suspect some of them are unaware that such a concept actually exists.

Even children of today work things out without manuals and should there be a need for information, you've got the Internet. I am constantly informed about technical insights that I wouldn't have a clue about, from my children. Oh the youth of today Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
