1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 2: I'm always interested in whether the passing of skills matters.

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 2: Like you know, I'm a punctuation pedant and it drives

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 2: my friends crazy. If they send me a text, they

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: have to double check that they've got their apostrops apostrophes

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 2: in the I.

7
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 3: Am one of those friends. I have to I've employed

8
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 3: a proofreader for every text that I send you.

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: Could you call them a puff reader because you've got

10
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: it wrong? Yeah? Well, I hate putting pressure on people.

11
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 3: Very hard, but I have said you were drunken text.

12
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: And I don't know why this stuff matters to me

13
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 2: because I know that language is organic, or would all

14
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 2: be talking like Chaucer, you know what's you know?

15
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: It was an old what's century? Sixteenth century?

16
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 2: Just hard, you know, like Shakespeare in English. We don't

17
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: talk like that anymore because language is organic.

18
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: I pretty see thus, But I don't like being part

19
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: of the move. I don't like being the yeah brigade, Yes,

20
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: that's where we are now, heading into new territory. I

21
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: don't know if I like it.

22
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 3: But old school radio broadcasting, like when I started this,

23
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 3: you had to speak properly with an authority voice.

24
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: I used to be exactly.

25
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 3: You used to sound like Clancy from Skippy. Mister Hammond,

26
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 3: mister Hammond, you spoke so well, but now you listen

27
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 3: to podcasters. Yeah, it's like standing next to chainsaw.

28
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

29
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: Well, Also, there's a certain stack of skills that we're losing.

30
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: And I don't know if it matters. I saw this article.

31
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: It's about gen Z. Gen Z are categorized from being

32
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: thirteen to twenty eight. Yep, it's quite a big span.

33
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: But they've done a survey on whether they can do

34
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: certain things and most of them can't. And I don't

35
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: know if it matters. Number one, writing incursive. I'm left handed,

36
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: so I can't write well anyway. When I first came

37
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: to Sydney, I've been born in Brisye. Came to Sydney

38
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: and I had to write with a cartridge.

39
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: Pin of cartridge pin.

40
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 3: Which is like it.

41
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: And my mother went to see the school and said,

42
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: can she please use a biro?

43
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: I had ink all over my arms. You know it.

44
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: It sounds like I'm on the little House in the Prairie. No,

45
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: because you weren't.

46
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: No, it has the cartridge inside it, but it had

47
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: a left handed curved nib and I just smell it

48
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: right across the page.

49
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: It was a disaster. My handwriting is a disaster because

50
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: of it.

51
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 3: I'm old enough to remember the cartridge pen era. Because

52
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 3: you get your pen license, remember your pen license.

53
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 2: I never got my penal license. What happens if you

54
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: never got a penal license? If you're writing illegally, they

55
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 2: should have RBT people my pen license. But so, only

56
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: twenty percent of gen Z's gen Z can write in

57
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: cursive compared to ninety five percent of baby boomers. Most

58
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: schools have removed it from the curriculum. And fair enough,

59
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: I mean, but teachers, I don't know why you're not

60
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: allowed to use your laptop because teachers having to read

61
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 2: handwriting for HSC. Kids go into training to do the

62
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: HSC with distress balls and things like that. Because your

63
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: muscles in your hand, you're not. No one's used to

64
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: handwriting anymore, fair enough, No one, or actually three out

65
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: of four gen Zettas struggle to read an analog clock.

66
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, could you do it? I can read down log clock?

67
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: Can you?

68
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: Okay?

69
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: What's this?

70
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: I've heard your time?

71
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 3: I can do digital and out.

72
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: Log can you yes? And even correctly?

73
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: You know, why don't you how about this one. Only

74
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: ten percent of gen zettas can navigate using a physical map.

75
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, remember that, you know the UbD. You pretty

76
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 2: much have to turn it as you're driving. When we

77
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: did be on two thousand, we drive in places obviously

78
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: we'd never been to before, all over the world, and

79
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: I don't know how CRUs did it. I have no

80
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: sense of direction. There was no sat nav.

81
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 3: You were guaranteed to get a string of green lights

82
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 3: if you had a UbD open on your lap.

83
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, because you think, I'll look at this

84
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: the menu, I get a red light.

85
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: Are you allowed to do that? Though? Can you get

86
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 3: a UbD on your lap now and drive around with

87
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 3: the cops bust you for that?

88
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: Can you reach over to get your sunglasses out of

89
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: a brief case.

90
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 3: I was a motorcycle courier for a nanosecond in the eighties,

91
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 3: and on my petrol tang of my motorbike there was

92
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 3: a plastic screen, like plastic, clear plastic thing and you

93
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: put your ub that and you're when you were a motorcycle.

94
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: I remember you're using one and you.

95
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: Whack it in there and you'd be right along on

96
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 3: your bike like a whole ub D. It's if a

97
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 3: motorbike is not dangerous enough. And you had a CB

98
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 3: radio strapped to your waist and it was like.

99
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: And you go, what the hell do you get sat

100
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: nav on a bike? Yeah?

101
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: I've got one on one of my bikes.

102
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: Now, And how does it work? How does it talk?

103
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: You look at it? Yeah?

104
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 3: I don't really use it?

105
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: Does it come up in your vision?

106
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 3: You know that big Harley the Ultra it's on that

107
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 3: it's a big TV screen.

108
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: Is see that's dangerous? Not really? Not really? How about this?

109
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 2: Only ten percent of young people no more than five

110
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: phone numbers by heart.

111
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know my phone number. I know yours? What

112
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: is it?

113
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 3: Three four one four three four?

114
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: Actually you all.

115
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: Now this is where you and I both bore down

116
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 2: mental arithmetic. The way we do our maths is a

117
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 2: bit like that. Ten percent of gen Z can do

118
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: complex math.

119
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: Without a calculator.

120
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 2: Complex You and I trying to look out the price

121
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: of oysters before and we thought a dozen was twenty

122
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: four or to move.

123
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: On from that, driving manual cars and five percent. See

124
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: this is where you and I differ.

125
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,239
Speaker 2: I think it doesn't matter because you can get around,

126
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: you can drive a car.

127
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,239
Speaker 1: You don't have to have that badge of earth.

128
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 3: I can't drive, but who cares?

129
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: I can drive.

130
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: I can get where I need to go without having

131
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: a man knowing how to drive a manual.

132
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. Why are you pulling a face? See?

133
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 2: I think that's a snobbiness, that's that's not necessary because

134
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 2: if you can do the job without doing that, it's

135
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: like me saying, hey, why don't you go and light

136
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: a whale oil lamp. We've moved on, Brendan, you don't

137
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 2: need to can you sew any three?

138
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: You can't hunt anymore. It's so woke.

139
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: Only three percent can sell on a button or patch

140
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: a hole because closes much cheaper now they are?

141
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: Am I boring you? Brendan? How many I've got one?

142
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: You like this one?

143
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 2: I've got timbre listen to I hate to go over

144
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: time with you, Brendan, you're trying to read down log

145
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 2: plot Listen.

146
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: Two percent of gen Z is now how to tune

147
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: a radio?

148
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 3: Ah, the old days are tune in the radio?

149
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: Who needs it? Getting them tuning out there? I just

150
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: put tuna on it, all right? How about this one?

151
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: This will surprise you.

152
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 2: Fewer than zero point five percent of gen Z can

153
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 2: read more code.

154
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 3: Okay, dot dot dot dash dash dash.

155
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: Sorry if I've spoken of my allocated time, Brenda, let's

156
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: get back to the Jonesy Show.

157
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: Tell me more about Bill's on film
