Radioshack forgot who its core customers were.
Yes. As someone that still uses a multi-meter I build over 30 years ago from a Radio Shack kit, it makes me sad. What is really bad is I have to go to Fry’s or Best Buy to get adapters or cables Radio Shack no longer carries.
One of the problems is that the young kids don’t have hobbies anymore. It is all about having an I-Phone shoved in your ear or continuous texting and such. They simply are not interested in anything like electronics anymore. On the other hand since RadioShack got away from selling kits and such back in the 80’s then they may also be partly responsible for making it harder for kids to get into the electronics hobby.
