Awww... The afro guy is gone, and it messes up my old post. :)

I'm not aware of ever seeing it done in this country (unless that one instance was deliberate).

Spot-on!
What we do see is that motivation tends to increase with age, up to a point. But that is of all times.

My dad likes to bitch non-stop about how "young people these days don't know half the things he did when he was half their age." Of course my dad grew up on a FARM of all places. I try to explain to my dad that not everybody grew up on a farm, and that this is no longer the 50s/60s, and that people can only be expected to learn as much as they need to learn to get the job done and that he was no different.
Its like talking to a particularly stubborn brick wall.
peterh:
Well, he was right, of course! ;)
Seriously, it does not make any sense, not does it provide you with a particularly satisfying sense of accomplishment, to master the art of saddling a horse, driving a tractor, or milding a cow when you live on the nth store of an apartment building.
How good is you dad at modern technology?
