Back in the day we did stuff manually. We did have to look it up on the internet before hand or have a machine fix it.

Here are 10 traditional skills that are fading away:

  1. Reading a map.
  2. Using a compass.
  3. Knowing how to tie different knots.
  4. Darning socks (which means fixing holes in them). Most young people don't even know "darning" is a word.
  5. Looking something up in a book by using the index.
  6. Knowing how to format a letter.
  7. Knowing measurement conversions, like there are four quarts in a gallon.
  8. Spelling and grammar.
  9. Building a fire.
  10. Having good penmanship, because no one writes anything anymore.
