For me I am noticing the younger generation is getting worse at asking questions in order to make sense of the unknown. "How do I fix...", "How can I get...", etc. Growing up without the internet, you needed to experiment, draw from your prior experience, or pop out to the library to do research. Today - I have those "old school" skills that I can use on Google/YouTube with great success. Need to fix the washing machine transmission? There are 200+ videos on how to do it - all you need to know now is what questions to ask and you can tap into the collective experience of the world. For younger people - if it is not instantly available or easy to digest as a factoid/tidbit, I see less interest in them digging in and learning on their own.

Technology/social media is getting so good at serving up what people want - creating pure consumers. Young people need to grow and flex their "discovery muscles".
