How do old dogs learn new tricks?

When My friend got his first computer a PC I used to get support calls from him (about 8-9 years ago)

"hey man my computer has stopped working!!"

"What were you doing at the time?"

"I was removing some programs I don't use"

"ok like what"

"well I was in the windows directory and I deleted some .exe programs I don't use calc.exe etc"

"Ok any thing else?"

"Yeah there were this files with .dll extension what wouldn't execute and they were taking up so much space so I deleted them and freed up so much space but now my machine won't reboot.!!!"

Well when I stopped laughing I told him just to re install the machine.

I havn't stopped teasing him either about it
I will admit when he reinstalled his machine every other day he now knows a lot more

Take it another step when users use computer technology for every thing will people be able to write with a pen, think about how many years in school you spent learning the motor skills required to move the tip of the pen in a slow small arc just for the letter c look at a childs writting pattern a c is more like a 3 sided square.

I am concerned for the future
