Not only this, but the situational awareness being provided. There is high SA, good. Low SA, bad. And bad SA, which is fatal. Bad SA being when you think you have high SA, but really none at all. Low SA is at least idenitifiable, and puts you on your toes.
Low experience, plus the barrage of info being provided through new technology is leading to bad SA and poor desicion making.
