You know, we don't build many stagecoaches anymore either. Nor steam locamotives, nor does anyone lug ice to your house anymore. The economy changes. How many computers were being built 30 years ago? Just about none, right? And now how many people are employed by Dell, HP, Microsoft, etc., etc.? How many additional jobs have been CREATED in businesses that were non-existent in the past? Millions and millions. Home theater, security system, and data network installers of today are the blacksmiths and coal shovelers of the past. Old jobs go away, new jobs are created.
We are moving from a manufacturing economy to a technology economy. Just as we moved from horses to tractors. People learned new skills back then to adapt to the ever-changing marketplace, just as we must do today. Sure, some people were hard-headed and said, "I know horses and that's what I'm sticking to", and they were passed by. And there are still a lot of countries where they are using horses today, our technology of the past, but I wouldn't want to work or live there. But it's good for them, better than what they were doing. So they can have our jobs of yesterday, and we will create newer, better jobs for us.
Just like we always have, people today need to adapt to our changing economy, or be left behind. If not they will get by, but will not flourish.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
