We are losing not only the ability to do but the ability to imagine alternatives.
Moshe is an apprentice septic tank cleaner. When his shop gets an emergency call, he and his senior head out to the site.
The place is a mess. The experienced septic cleaner wastes no time, pulls up his shirt and dives right in, head first.
After a while, he pops back out and reaches with his hand: "I need the Channellock pliers". Moshe hands him the pliers, and the expert dives back in. Then, out he pops again: "Jumbo plunger, now!". Moshe hands him the plunger, and the old man disappears once more. Finally, he re-emerges and pulls himself up with a tired-but-content look on his face:
"See, Moshe, if you don't take it seriously and apply yourself to this job, you're going to carry that toolbox all your life."
