I would bet that Barney Oldfield would still be able to muscle a car around a track today, just as Louis Chevrolet moved from the race track to manufacturing.

They wouldn't be in the same ballpark as Scott Dixon without several years of experience. Then they might be.

You don't know who I am talking about. < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Chevrolet > < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barney_Oldfield >

I am sure that while Frank Lloyd Wright managed more than adequately with a drawing table, he would have very quickly adopted computers and design software to achieve his designs, ...

But he couldn't have done a http://www.freakingkid.com/burj-al-arab-worlds-only-seven-star-hotel-in-the-world/

Today he might consider something along those awful lines, but he was able to do this with pencil, pen, ink, and a drawing table in 1937, 76 years ago, and with Wright, the current flock of architects have some mighty footprints to follow in, even though he didn't exactly embrace the vertical. < http://www.newyorkpanorama.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/2010-01-guggenheim-2000.jpg

In 1936 he incorporated with nature this amazingly livable home, "Fallingwater", all without the assistance of a computer, and which architects have srtuggled to emulate, but their computers fail them. < http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f5/FallingwaterPathway.jpg > < http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dd/Fallingwater%2C_also_known_as_the_Edgar_J._Kaufmann%2C_Sr.%2C_residence%2C_Pennsylvania%2C_by_Carol_M._Highsmith.jpg

... just as I am certain that Adams would be using a digital darkroom today. He was a darkroom geek after all.

Eric Stevens
But that requires an entirely different range of computing skills from the ones we have been discussing.

Perhaps, but it seems appropriate, as what has been argued is a current requirement of computer knowledge, programing, script writing, and competent operation of software in order to deal with things technical. Specifically photography.
