@retiredteacher So true on all counts. I like sage also. This past week when my son, daughter, and son-in-law were around I came up with a solution for something that impressed my very brilliant son-in-law. I told him it was from experience. It's amazing how much young people do not come up with solutions as easily as we do at our more sage ages.

@jk I hate to say, but I saw it happen when I was teaching. Students don't think and can't figure things out because they are too accustomed to running to the computer and looking it up or asking a robot that tells them the answer. In the last years when I was teaching, if I said, "Today we are NOT going to the computers; we are going to think for ourselves from our own brains." They couldn't do it. It was the saddest part of teaching to see them not use their own brains. We always say about anything we ignore, "Use it or lose it." That's what's happened. They haven't used their ability to think and they have lost it. They want someone or something to tell them.
Awful!
