Most people that I deal with on a day to day basis are specialists of some sort.

good question and i would say SOME still exist
but actually we all come out of this cradle (at least those who have been there for more than 20 years). back then we HAD TO DO everything because there was no one who was specialized. one could do this a bit better and the other could do that a bit better.
in the course of time, many have specialized in what they have always been able to do better than others. that they had an insight into many things before is even helpful because it helps them to understand the big picture.
I call my self a lateral thinker as I use my knowledge from many things that I did before to finetune my current main focus.
