Some youngsters can't tell time from an analog clock.  And they no longer teach cursive writing in schools.

Depends where you are, I think.  My 7 year old is learning cursive in 2nd grade.

        When I was at one of those companies , the "long term" goal was to build a complete "in house" engine with their accumulated companies. Looks like they only need a carb/injection , and ignition. LOL

What fascinates me is that - at F-M - we sold all the engine parts on the OEM replacement and performance level.  The highest margin parts in an engine by far are piston rings and engine bearings.  Yet all of these folks (I visited with and interviewed with some of them over the years) view those two lines as mere accessories.
