What?
It is clear you don't know. Yes technology does change over time but most of it is pretty similar and in the end you don't need to learn every single thing but learning to work on 80% of the bikes out there will not change a huge ton and even still when it does it will be a long time into the future and all of that knowledge will still be relevant. Eventually maybe we will move away from the traditional stuff at some point but it will take quite a long time to get rid of it. A lot of the stuff we do in the shop could be applied to about 8 decades of bikes in some way or another.
