Fire, printing, books,literacy,gaslights, electricity, telegraphs,telephones,moving picture -silent and sound and colour and 3D, radio, air travel, tv, the Internet, etc. But these technologies are not LEARNED ; they are accepted as commonplace by the young. Only older people have to LEARN technology deliberately. Future generations will always need new skills and some will embrace and/or reject them. How the young learn is a constantly changing process. What they do with that knowledge makes them either informed or indoctrinated. Each developed nation’s generation grows up with different technologies and expectations.
