I well agree with your thought on adjust or be run over ... what I'm adamant about doesn't waver no matter the years that pass. The basics will remain ... mechanically, hydraulically, electrically, and structurally ... there will be tons of new technology hooked to the basics that require constant training updates ... but with few younger ones absorbing the basics from those of us or instructors that are willing to pass it on ... new technology will never see it's full potential. Dick's example of diesel mechanics is a prime example. So what if you have a fancy new diesel hauler with 3 times the HP and torque of what I drive ... if it's broke and nobody has the background or time to fix it ... what good is all that tech making that HP and torque?
