Are we the last mechanical practitioners vs consumers of tech?

Are we the last mechanical practitioners vs consumers of tech?

Does it seem few are interested today in taking things apart, learning how things work and fixing things? As motorcycles get more technologically complex and unserviceable are people just throw-a-way consumers?

Did you rebuild, fix or work on motorcycle parts like petcocks, brakes, carburetors, gaskets, fuel lines, etc?

With electric engines, what is there left to service? Battery packs you can't open. Digital displays that are throw-a-way when they break. Does Gen Z, Gen A, Gen Next say "Why bother" right?

Your thoughts??

I realize as a M.E. I can check out robotics or software associated things however this doesn't alternate the fact that m.E. Goes down. I am definetely no longer announcing m.E. Isn't essential however even the maximum first rate strength-automotive-aviation agencies look for as many IT engineers as they do for M.E. This without delay affects our salaries as well, among my pals, I hear a few offers coming from overseas to software engineers however cannot say the equal for mechanical engineers.
