Learn to Use your Hands

While this writer sated in his previous post that he would lay off the Orcs, he did not say that he would lay off the Orc sympathisers. Here is a link to a video in which a woman takes on the Orc sympathisers in the Congress:

But to get to the point.
This writer has long been of the opinion that modern technology has resulted in the weakening of man.
Instead or relying brain and muscle we have gotten to the point where we rely on machines to do our work.
By this the writer means, not mechanical presses to do the work that was once done by smiths, but, rather the fact that typists are not real typists, shorthand takers are not shorthand takers and all to many machinists are not really machinists. All of the above have become button pushers relying on a computer to do the work that was once proudly done by human beings,
The result is that there is a generation of "worker" who really do not know their trade. They know their computers, and then barely.
Ask yourself, "Do I really know the skills that those who worked in my trade fifty years ago knew? Or do I only know how to make a computer do it?" If one doe not know how to perform a skill manually, is it really a skill?
Pilots in the know have said that airplane pilots during World War One were better than the planes, the pilot during World War Two were equal to their planes and that modern pilots just ride their planes.
Do you want to be better or equal to your skills? Or do you just want to take a free ride?
