    Probably true in many/most cases. There is a percentage of kids who
    >> become experts at the tech but there are probably a lot more who just
    >> know how to work what they use and don't learn much extra.

    I think that is very true... they can work a smart phone but don't even
    >realize it is, or think of it as, "tech."

    No, it's more like an appendage required for survival... B)

    interfaces, but I'd be shocked if they could wrap their heads around
    TCP/IP or some of the fundamentals of the tech they use.

    We need a new generation of packet movers... :)

    Yes, and then landline copper wire phone networkers. :D

    I think they mostly still use that here... B)

    Canada sometimes sounds like paradise, until one reads about how cold it
    can get in areas that are farther south than several places in the USA! :O

    I spent 5 or 6 months in Florida when I first stopped working for other
    people thinking it would be great to get away from the cold but I gave
    that up after a while. Winter down there isn't exactly beach weather
    where I was, not that I'm a big beach person anyways, but I missed
    having all the seasons.. B)

    Also, back then it was even colder than now. These days -30c (-22f)
    is pretty rare where I am but back in the late 80's you could
    expect to hit -40c (-40f) now and then..

    Other than the odd cold day it's not so bad now. It's getting up
    close to or slightly above freezing quite frequently during the
    day and it's a whole lot easier to heat the house.. B)
