 LOOMING CRISIS?

Unless the likes of Casio do sth about it.There's not going to be anyone to repair watches in the next few decades.Every "Fundi wa saa" I've seen is at least a sexagenarian if not a septuagenarian. I've not seen a man even in his middle ages doing the job unless I need more travelling to do.

Has there not been another generation privilliged to be apprenticed in the art.If not why,what causes this divide.And worse off ,is there an entry criteria to the role that favours or favoured a certain group so much that it would be herculean for anyone else to plug in.
Are watches as relied upon as back in the day?a big No. Do people still wear watches even in the smartphone era we have found ourselves in?Off course yes for their own reasons probably other than checking time.For sportsmen too wristwatches come in handy.They need them as most of their events are timed and on the move.So by now it's crystal,that watches are being produced and consumed.A lacuna in the maintenance subsection might soon surface.When the clock has clicked and their is a massive turnover as the few skilled retire and there is no one to replace them.
How much does it cost to repair a phone and how sustainable as an income generating venture is it? Could it be the reason nobody else is training in that area.That the dividends it pays are meagre?But the wazees would not be sitting in these corridors only retire home empty handed methinks.
Anyway it's a gray area in my opinion.And tunauliuza serikali........
