I guess what i'm trying to say is there will always be and always has been this problem. It's not new and the next generation will do exactly the same.
One could argue that their talent lies in Googling. Yes with out it they'd fail but with it, better than average Joe, some people are rubbish at googling lol! The same as a guitarist or drummer, the song writer or the mix engineer, take away their tool and boom.
So we could now have a debate over what talent actually is. Stumbling on to realise that your talent might be in debating.
For me I guess it's us, we apply the belief of talent on someone. They could have all the talent in the world but if we don't see it, to us they are talentless.
Anyone who can load a PC, record and mix an entire song from start to finish, with no actual mistakes (although that's a hard one to pin down), technically has talent, yet so many can do that now as we are so connected we see that as not talent.
Oh and i'm 35...
