Have people lost their ability to problem solve?

I work daily in a job where I talk to people looking for help with various things. I don't know if it's a generational thing but geez people can not problem solve for themselves. This blows my mind and seriously depresses me for the worlds future.

These are simple obstacles that the average person should be able to resolve and they act completely helpless looking for someone else to resolve. Sorry for the rant, but it's tiring thinking for the world. LOL.... POURING A LARGE GLASS OF RED NOW
