That's probably the meme, but being around during construction and occasionally being the one building it might get you a deeper understanding imho.

- RHSeeger 14y agoA deeper understanding of how it works, etc sure... but not necessarily a deeper understanding of how the younger folk interact with it. I remember reading a discussion of how some technology (lets go with smart phones for lack of my memory) was going to make newer generations lives so much different. They'll be focused around them because they're so amazing and useful. What <the folks that said that> didn't really understand was that, to the younger generation, the smart phone wasn't some wonder, amazing device that can do lots of things. Rather, it just WAS. It's like a door. If you lived before doors, they would be amazing... you'd think everyone younger than you would be amazed they have it and love it. But they don't. To them, it has always been that way, the door just IS.
