The thing that struck me most was that for 25 of 27 years, they have relied entirely on machines and computers to manage the condition which means every hard-earned lesson you have experienced they did not and the author likely has very little person knowledge and experience on how to do anything off the pump.

It's the AI argument in a nutshell. We are handing things off to machines and losing the knowledge to do it ourselves.

Imagine if this were a systemic catastrophic failure, that lasted months... how many people would perish just because they weren't taught or never learned how to manage without the machine.
