Obsolete Skills

Obsolete Skills 

Robert Scoble came up with the idea in a recent blog post to make a list of 'obsolete skills.' He describes these skills as things we used to know that are no longer very useful to us, a few examples include:
  • Dialing a rotary phone
  • Putting a needle on a vinyl record
  • Changing tracks on an eight-track tape
  • Shorthand
  • Using a slide rule
  • Refilling a fountain pen
  • Operating a dictaphone
  • Using the eraser ribbon on a typewriter
