Are the skilled men disappearing?

I have noticed a trend where I work. We have a lot of expensive and complex machinery. Much of it does not work correctly. I try to have maintenance repair it. They tell me no one knows how any more.
My question for you is. Is this happening around you too? Are the skilled workers retiring out. The application of software is great however are people that build things a dieing breed?

However, it's likely that fewer people entering the workforce are choosing maintenance and repair of complex equipment as a career. Especially since such equipment quickly becomes obsolete as new technology replaces it.
