The steep learning curve of rangefinder shooting practise has more of an impact than the digital revolution. I think that the achilles heel of the rangefinder is the voluminous amount of time that one has to spend for even a modicum of competency. This current, and layered, generation of consumers just lacks the ability for a long term investment in an activity. This isn't wholly their fault, as the excretion of modern products/things, is purposely dumbed down to avoid any_stress_in the learning area.
