For me it’s being able to burn CDs and make custom labels for them. I remember spending hours picking the right songs and putting them in the perfect order and then printing out these little cover artworks. Totally pointless now when I can just hit shuffle on spotify. The funny thing is I was thinking about it last night while I was playing a few matches of rocket league and it just hit me how much time I used to put into that. Like no one ever asks for a custom CD anymore but I’m still proud I know how to do it.
It got me wondering what other random “useless” skills people are still hanging on to. Stuff that doesn’t really matter anymore but you can’t help but feel proud you learned it.
What’s yours?
