Those of us with some mechanical and diagnostic skills will soon be gone, then what?
Others will step up and take your place as long as the skill is necessary. They always have, always will. Older generations have always bemoaned the downfall of society due to the younger generations, and "This time it will really happen! I just know it! All the signs are there!"
You're saying it about your grandkids. Your grandparents said it about you. Your great-grandparents said it about your parents. Your great-great grandparents said it about your grandparents... Need I go on?
All this is, is a time-honored tradition.
At one time, someone complained that their grandchildren did not know how to harness a horse, and that would lead to the downfall of society. Technology moves on and makes certain skills obsolete. Yes, even changing tires on the side of the road will eventually be obsolete. Only "weirdos" that play with those "antique" cars will need to know how to change a tire, as those "weirdos" who play with horses need to know how to harness them today.
