No Instructions

I have spent the last several day learning how to use an app on my phone and tablet. Being the traditionalist I am, I started looking for the help and instruction files. I must be in real bad shape because I could not find anything that explains the steps required to operate the software.

The only way I could  learn to use it was by actually doing something and then seeing what happens. One of the difficulties is that when learning to see the results  is a trial and error process in itself.

Another issue is learning the nomenclature utilized in the app. Like what is a sample (data point). What is a collection? What is tracker?

Then I got to the point where I came to the realization that we are now seeing the future. All learning is going to be experiential. By doing. In the future we will being seeing fewer and fewer instruction manuals and books. If they are really needed they will probably be provided by second parties, i.e. ????? for Dummies.

This may not be a bad thing. The thing is how do we train the younger ones to be inquisitive and intuitive explorers?

Is it just me or is it everyone?
