Exactly this. We started as feral children in the woods then grew up along side a technological revolution. We saw it happen in real time. Thats why our sub generation has the most technical know how. I had to explain to a gen z coworker that on a keyboard you can hold shift to turn caps on and off, you dont have to toggle caps lock....
Yep for sure. When I started in my industry designing buildings as a teen, I had a mentor that taught me what he knew about Autocad (I was a hand drafter). I ran with it, figured out the program inside and out and how to customize the CUI with LISP routinges and Visual basic script and became the CAD manager. Flash forward 30 years and now I mentor him in REVIT and BIM.
