[Milsurplus] Dead Electronics

[Bud Steward]

This is a concern I have for electronics
and no one I have noticed as yet mentioned it.

The kids as a whole have little or no interest
in learning much of any of it. Not even as a
Hobby at all. I have always felt it was at least
a good hobby to have.

You all would be amazed at how few numbers of
people even know how to solder any more. When
teaching the radio merit badge to scouts I have
had numbers of Dads looking over my shoulder that
are EEs and have no idea how to solder at all.
The ones that think do, really don't know how. 
But that I have always seen, even in the electronics
trade. Even some of those are scarded to death of
trying any SMT stuff. That is not so bad, really.

That is my two cents.

Bud
