No, the technology available to youths today has become so pervasive that the majority of non-techies is using it. There are still the geeks and nerds sitting in the back room playing with technological toys, they just into Ham Radio. They think Ham Radio is a technological dead end and a just a bunch of old guys talking to each other about their medical problems. Sadly, for the most part, they're right.

<tounge firmly in cheek>As opposed to the good old days when all the "in crowd" had Ham Radio licenses. Back in the 60s and 70s technology was embraced by everyone! In high school the quarterback won the big game, then headed back home to work some DX on 40M. </tounge firmly in cheek>
