Processes are always changing and getting easier. The process you grew up with was far easier than what people had to do decades before you, which was easier than the process decades before that, etc.

It's easy to fret about, "How will the next generation survive in the world I grew up in, without the skills I developed?"

But the answer is, they won't. Just like you don't need the same skills a caveman had because you live in a thoroughly transformed world, the kids of today won't need the same skills you had because they'll live in a thoroughly transformed world.

Ofc some good or important things will always be lost from one generation to the next. But that's okay. Still, humanity marches onward.
