Fluff - Skills you no longer need/use.

Well, let's see:
- developing and printing film for sure
- DLSR/photography skills for decent photos
- being fast at looking up the spelling of words in the dictionary
- finding the best price on something by calling around or visiting multiple stores
- polishing shoes

Calculating drip rates on IVs. I'm very thankful for smart IV pumps, they really help cut down on math-related errors.

Some that are already mentioned

Sew by hand
Use a card catalog
Count back change
Develop black and white film
Use a dark room (I finally let go of the last of my dark room stuff)
Read a map
Write a check
Dial a rotary phone/memorize phone numbers
Long division
Use a combo lock
Read a tape measurer/yard stick
Read an analog clock - have you ever noticed that there are either no clocks or all digital clocks in most places these days? It seems like all the analog ones are designed to be useless. We went to 6 different stores before we found an analog one that we liked and could read.
Run an one-hour photo lab, including developing the film!

Trying not to repeat any that were there when I read through the posts:

Canning my own jam

Building a fire from scratch with no fire starters (lighter fluid, starter logs, etc) except a match

Set a 'correct' table with all the archaic bells and whistles like bone dishes, knife rests, salt cellars, and such. For example, did you know that the oyster fork (or for some any fish served as an appetizer) is the only one that goes to the right of the plate? That definitely seems to qualify as knowledge that's not much needed these days. Lol.

Canning is making a huge comeback around here.  I have never done any canning but honestly, I wouldn't mind trying it on a small scale maybe next summer.  Probably wouldn't do jam though.

I’ve always been very good at maps/directions, which is completely useless now.

I can still write in Gregg Shorthand though. Have no reason to do so, and calculate statistics manually, even though calculators do it for you now.

Skills I still use: touch typing, sewing machine sewing, making clothes from a pattern,

See now, I think a lot of these skills ARE useful and in many cases the people who still know how to do them save the asses of the people who don’t know how to do them.

For example, I know how to sew but so many people today don’t. I routinely get calls from my neighbors asking if I can hem a pair of pants, fix a zipper or a tear or take something in for them because they don’t have the first clue how to do it. I also know how to bake, and that’s another thing my neighbors pay me to do because they barely know how to mix up a pan of brownies from a box mix.

Film developing is the one thing people have mentioned that has mostly gone the way of the dinosaur (and is also something I have done in the past).

Something people *should* know how to do but often don’t is how to balance a checking account. When I worked at the bank, I often had to untangle the nasty messes that people made of their accounts. Now everybody figures if they can look online and see what their real time balance is they’re good, but if you never balance your account you won’t know if you have been double debited for something or if a deposit didn’t go through.

I’m really good at old school typography and could get things laid out with perfect evenly spaced, justified or centered lines. I aced my college typography class years ago and never needed to use a type ruler. I’d eyeball all of my text, stick it down, check it with the ruler and it would be perfect every time. Now everything is done with computer so that skill is actually pretty useless.

Not when you're in a cell service desert!

Using paper maps that were the size of your car's interior.

I'll add a couple!
Untangling phone cords
Making mixed tapes from the radio

Ooh, here's one DH & I were just discussing recently-----diagramming sentences. I don't when our schools stopped teaching that but none of our kids/nieces/nephews ever learned to do it.

In addition to many of those listed above, I can cut up a whole chicken into the usual pieces, cook (in general) from scratch without recipes, and sing in tune without autotune.😃
