People born before 1990 - what handy skill do you have that no one uses anymore?

Welp. I can dial a rotary phone fast. I can use a washing machine that has a tank for the water and wringers you pass the clothes through. I can toast bread on a fork above the stove burner. I can hang the wet laundry on a line. I can brush my teeth without electricity. I can cook a full hot meal without a microwave.

I am strong-willed. I can call a phone number and when they don’t answer, I can wait till later and try again without throwing a hissy fit. I can load vinyl records on a turntable. I can start a standard shift car with a dead battery if I had the foresight to park it at the top of a long enough hill.

I can clean windows with vinegar and polish them with newspaper. I can start with whole potatoes and convert them to French fries. I can type on a manual typewriter, and I can change the ribbon. I can type a church bulletin on a stencil and copy it on a mimeograph.

Yep. Useless unless they get that Time Machine thing to work.
