  Obsolete Skillsscot hacker's foobar blog

  Posted: February 22nd, 2008, 1:50am EST by shacker

  Robert Scoble came up with the idea to make a list of obsolete skills - things we used to be good at but no longer need to be, including:

  • Dialing a rotary phone
  • Putting a needle on a vinyl record
  • Shorthand
  • Using a slide rule
  • Optimizing 640K-worth of memory
  • Refilling a fountain pen
  • Operating a dictaphone
  • Using the eraser ribbon on a typewriter

  A wiki sprung up to flesh out the list, and there are now hundreds listed (I added “Cleaning ball bearings in skateboard wheels without losing them”).
