Apr. 18, 2008 - Skills that have become obsolete
I found this list on the web of skills that just are no longer useful. Some of these thing I know how to do, some of them were before my time. I am betting that my Dad knows how to do all of them. Winky, winky.
1. Dialing a rotary phone.
2. Putting a needle on a vinyl record.
3. Changing tracks on an eight-track tape.
4. Shorthand.
5. Using a slide rule.
6. Using carbon paper to make copies.
7. Developing film/photos.
8. Changing the ball or ribbon on your Selectric Typewriter.
9. Getting off the couch to change channels on your TV set.
10. Adjusting the rabbit ears on your TV set.
11. Changing the gas mixture on your car’s carburetor.
One that I would add would be "Using a clutch to change gears in a car."
Any others that you would add?
