dont make me laugh...
As a reasonable young (30) system administrator with over 6 years experience in the field, that has been guiding new talent both in the field of system administration as well as supporting them, I can conclude only one thing. The younger generation understands less about IT and computers then the current one. Yes, they grew up with MSN, yes they can control their PS2. But their overal skill is almost bringing me to tears, so horribly bad (And that from someone living both among the most computer skilled people in the world - The Netherlands - and the considerably less intelligent USA).
This sounds like a lot of utopian blarney to me. ...
