Technolgy: Not All That great

Yes, I am old, like almost before computers and certainly before Al Gore invented the Internet.
I also remember when teachers taught kids how to address an envelope.
Well, yesterday, my son, who is 17 and a junior in high school had to address an envelope for the very first time and he didn't know how to do it.
And he was never taught how to do it in school...ever.
Now, my son is not Mensa material but he is also smarter than the average bear.
He can post to you Tube, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and the like.
But address an envelope?  Nope.
Kid probably doesn't even know how to use a typewriter and a rotary phone.
