I've often wondered if it was an age or even time thing. I'm 44 and I noticed at some point years ago I was getting more reluctant to click buttons and try to figure things out on my own. That's how I learned everything as a kid and became the typical family IT guy. I had to relearn that curiosity and the willingness to learn things in that fashion, which I think shrank just from disuse. I'm not in IT, but I've seen that reluctance grow in other people too.

I wonder if rising to certain levels (or just gaining support staff to help with things) contributes to not doing small things. Then that can lead to an increased reluctance to do other small things. (Just out of no longer feeling comfortable with them.) I hadn't thought about it, but it makes sense to me.
