Don't forget logic. The evolution of intelligence is for a different day however I will use my Dad as an example. Grew up on a farm and that is an era gone by mostly (IMO.) The level of responsibility and work expected out of kids will bring the average kid to their knees today. I had an interesting vacation week this year and heard the stories from his Siblings. It was a way of life. And if today's kids were thrown into that environment they would figure it out. It's the evolution of how the world runs today.
I would ask you this. In my line of work it is slowly declining (Commercial printing) and the bulk of the experience is now aged. It shows in efficiency and in some cases mentality (irritability.) That's life and the next generation is completely different. But guess what.... The next generation is the only option. And if that isn't working then Automation is and will be the solution. The new generation loves technology and business has been forced to adapt. It's not always about the bottom line in regards to this problem.
So how do we change that situation? It has been going on since Dinosaurs ruled the planet and I don't see that ever changing. But I'm all ears as I have and am currently being entertained by a Corporation to take on this challenge. I don't want this to turn into a pissing match but rather lay your ideas out on the table...
