Babe, if I ever should get a 5 star tent accommodation with bath room, proper WC, make-up table and dining room I will definitely invite you on a trip. Until then, I am afraid, you have to stay in Perth

Now......everything in our modern age is chipped and high tech. As I found out today not even a modern car is what is used to be. A brand new BMW for example has everything you might desire in a car........all works on sensors......let's say it starts raining the wipers will start automatically........if it gets dark the lights turn on automatically.........nobody winds down windows anymore and the car will tell you exactly how to park into the space provided and if you should check the oil........ok.....who is filling up oil and petrol? That might be still a human task?????? It talks to you, it plays the music you are thinking about, it answers your phone and as an automatic you don't have to change gears anymore either. So what's the point?
However to cut a long story short and to get my point across.......apparently modern technology makes us more stupid as we are losing skills. Honestly I do agree. (lol how many different VW services did I have to check out before I did find one who actually knows what to do with a 1971 Beetle?) I bet in 10 years nobody can read a map anymore thanks to the GPS and nobody can spell anymore thanks to all spell checks and not to forget the hand writing.........grrrrrrrrr yesterdays rubbish. The modern human is only using a key board. And how about music? Nowadays and thanks to high tech we all have the potential to become rock stars. No mate, don't worry, you don't need to be able to sing or play an instrument........the computer and a good sales person/promoter will do the rest. Cypher sex will replace establishments and shopping is coming to your home via internet order.....and if you want to take it further read Ben Elton's "Blind Faith".........so hits nail on the head.
By the way I can't post this post without mentioning all the social sites we are supposed to be on. Yep, let's put our private lifes on the internet with photos and everything for everybody to see and hang on......if you don't go with the flow and don't do it you are automatically a suspicious character...........(mmmmmmm what has he/she to hide?)
Never mind...........modern age..........

It does seem very much this way. I get so mad at my kids when they message me and it's letter texts (such as 'wen r u going 2 be home'). Seriously, they have learnt quick smart that I find it totally unacceptable, and I even tell my friends off.
Half of the world problems could be solved if people would think for themselves and not expect others or machines to do it for them.
I definitely think we are going to have a world full of dummies with the way things are going. And if there is ever a natural disaster where people have to think for themselves,,,oh boy,,,look out..... People sitting for hours playing games where they make food, farm animals and crops, but of course they don't go outside, and their own yards are a mess, and they have bad eating and exercise habits and have difficulties socialising with real people.

I've lost count of the number of times I've seen children with their parents in shopping centres and the kid's so self-absorbed playing a game on a iPad or other tablet. Socialization skills have gone with the dark ages.
In my lunchroom at work, I've started reading a book because no one's talking, they're all on their phones. In 1997, a company I worked for had a test for a whole lot of people who were in danger of being longterm unemployed. They'd be handling cash, cutting cloth etc. 15 candidates - 14 failed the basic math test.
Many people these days get a sore left foot when they switch to a manual geared car from an automatic when they send their car in for servicing and get a courtesy car.
All of this is good news for us old folk really - I think (and hope) that employers will always prefer people who've brains! The problem is that people with brains will have to work with people without them. And in this era of "cashed up bogans" (as the press call them), there'll be lots of retards with lots of money who can order you around.
As people in mostly third world countries who have hunger in their bellies work and study harder, they'll become more academically qualified and skilled and may be in positions of authority. And this could possibly create racial tension sadly. Sixty percent of the employed in Silicon Valley's IT industry are Indians.
The only hope lies with us as parents.

in the many years that I have been in the workforce I have noticed from the start ( many years ago ) Employers wanted smart people who could think for themselves and know companies want sheep ( follow the leader type ) with no confidence in themselves .

Ahoy, keyboard skills are a must, understanding technology is also a must in the current workplace and conforming to the employer and the company ideology is a must. Finally the next generation will have difficulty coping with everyday task if the technology fails them in any form.
It’s sad, but society is dependent on technology and this in turn, will influence our society in the future.

Fair to say each generation loses something along the way. Who here knows how to work an abacus?
Can't exactly say that it makes us >dumber< but it changes life in different ways.
It's all part of evolution, we might evolve back to a single cell organism like an amoeba. *freak out*...
lol...

I'd daresay Homer that in schools people are still taught the basics before they go on to calculators. One day if that calculator fails, they can go back to the basics. Also, there's the cognitive skills and initiative involved - the brain is a muscle that needs to be exercised. If we all use calculators from day one, and it does the thinking for us, your brain will go soft.
There's nothing more tragic than seeing a youngster who hasn't celebrated his or her 18th birthday with their brain gone soft and not encouraged to its full potential.
A checkout chick or chuck who has a higher level of cognitive skills and quick thinking will probably spot a $80 product which comes up at $20 and question it? A mundane one won't care if the sky fell in as long as they know it's 5 minutes 'til knockoff time.

Funny you said that. I was at a pharmacy, bought a product which should cost $15. Paid for it and went home feeling kinda weird. I gave the checkout chick $20 and got $9 change back. That crashed my abacus. lol
A friend went to a grocery shop, paid for goods bought $45 bucks worth of goods, gave checkout chick $50 and got $50 change back. lol...Checkout chick lack 20/20 vision, or maybe colour blind.

Soon, we don't even have to turn on the taps, nor flush the toilets...toilet paper that wipes your bum for ya, and bid you a good journey after you finish.
Dogs that walk themselves, and recycle their own pee n poo...
Cars that flies, and goes to the future...and back...

The plumbing aspects already started almost 20 years ago Homer - Japan has these toilets (and they're everywhere) where you just plonk yourself and make a deposit and it's automated. I sometimes think there's a little guy or girl in the bowl with this turbo-charged water jet. And the end product is a good one too. Even warm air to dry the bum!
The toilet seat can be heated to requirement, can be bidet controlled etc.

I bet if the Pope saw this, his first words would be; "Holy Crap!"
There are virtual/robot dogs now. People already use blow up dolls. Women use vibrators. I could go on but my battery's running flat!

Ok so I work in a customer service role and are company in it's wisdom keep putting in machines for the clients to do everything themselves because that's what they had ask for ?
Is this really the case do people really not want the human face to face contact and want to do everything for themselves ?

Has anyone else noticed that since they've put the automated checkouts in supermarkets/hardware shops e.t.c that hardly anyone uses them??? Every time I've been in line it seems the older generation would rather wait for a real live Cashier than go through the robot line... ??

All well and good guys BUT employing more people costs money - for employers and customers. In these days of retail, it's amazing how many customers will switch loyalties just because the cost of a product goes up by a dollar. Everybody wants things cheap and then complain about quality. And then of course there are shareholders who want to see returns on their investment.
The Chairman of Wesfarmers last year was paid a bonus of A$6million. How much do the people in Wesfarmer's big green hardware shed get paid - a bit more than two fifths of sweet FA. Same goes for Coles; owned by Wesfarmers.
I know people, brainy people, in retail who are SENSATIONAL in their customer service - but they get no recognition apart from a scratch and match ticket and a star. Yet they still get paid the same amount as their colleagues who are goofing off texting on facebook in the aisles and chatting up some chick from the next aisle. I was in the Bunnings in Balcatta once and saw this guy using his iphone camera function to look at himself and he was doing something highly productive - squeezing his pimples!!
So where's the incentive to shine and work hard and be brainy?
