No amount of technocracy will change how people solve problems.

The are basically two ways:

1. Apply predefined solutions to solve a problem (i.e. Use gadgets and applications someone else programmed).

2. Develop a custom solution to a problem (i.e. Put together your own program that solves your problem).

Arguably the next generation will learn to apply more complex predefined solutions to problems, but they won't magically start to migrate to the second mindset.
