I once had a fellow apprentice trying to add the MySQL connector for Java to an Eclipse project.
He tried to add it in his code, has not realzed that the *.jar file must be added to Eclipse.After him complaining that "The Java connector is broken, not usable, bullsh**" and so on I fired up a quick Google search to show him how it is done.
His Effort: Two weeks, swearing and complaining to everybody around (while claiming that he is a far better Dev than the rest of us)
My Effort: One Google search, 2 Minutes Clicking around in Eclipse

Problem solved by: Me.

So yes, the younger guys may get more stupid, but that was something to expect. The industry needs more and more Developers, sucking in more morons than in the old days. The good ones may raise up to be contractors, Requirement Engineers or Software Architects, while the code monkeys stay where they are, occupying the Q&A section.
