When I was 13, I was making my own radios. Simple ones - maybe 10-20 parts, many salvaged. Functional. I knew how they worked. I could choose between 3 BBC radio stations (and Radio Luxembourg).
My grandson of that age has a smartphone. He can't fix it and certainly doesn't know how it works. It fills his head with drivel.
Progress - very overrated.
