That's fine...I'll need to be phased out at some point, but as long as kids keep coming to me with questions that I can answer, I'll believe I still have a little worth.

And you will.

They are.

but there is a lot to be valued in being able to do something by hand, and that goes for more than just drawing and calcs.

And you need to realize that most of these people could also do it by hand, but probably not as quickly as you. But there is tremendous value in using technology as a tool. It not lazy, or less specialized. Its exactly the opposite. The fact that I don't have to spend three days taking off drawings for a bid allows me to spend more time in the drawings, scoping subcontractors, and delivering a better product to the owner.
