    It's not necessary. I like to know how things work though. To each
    his own.

    I was at a fast food restaurant the other day when the power went
    out. I was in line and they had food and the registers could be
    opened with a key, but they stopped selling food because nobody knew
    how to make change! I was hungry and so taught the cashier how. She
    was AMAZED!! and quickly told her skeptical manager that it was
    indeed possible to count back change even without electricity. 

    Maybe the present generation can still write with pens and paper,
    but the next one will probably look on it as a lost art. Most people
    who use computers to communicate have either lost the ability to
    punctuate properly or never bothered to learn this skill. Don't get
    me started on the proper usage of words like "to", "too" and "two." I
    can't say with any certainly that computers have robbed people of
    their ability to write, but I firmly believe computers have cost
    many the ability to think.
