I am from the 70s and my father did both electronics and software so I was raised with both. I think it really collapsed in the 90s but end 80s my university dropped many analog electronics courses for digital. That was enough to have new students not learn enough about electronics.
- sacnoradhq 3y agoThat's a shame in real terms of losses of future EEs, technicians, and hobbyists. For countries worrying about remaining independent and competitive, there's too much of a monoculture and brain trust in too few locations: Taiwan, Huaqiangbei, Vietnam, and Malaysia. There ought to be every effort made to make electronics cool, accessible, and useful. 3D printing I think has helped carry this torch along some. In other news, commercial electricians make comfortable middle-class salaries and are unlikely to be immediately threatened by automation.
