Although I’m not yet 40, I can’t help but feel that there were a ton of things I was forced to learn as a kid that I have never once used as an adult. Remember learning to program a VCR or balance a checkbook? At one time, people wore these skills like badges of honor. However, as the world has become more digitized, many of these skills have slipped into irrelevance. Technology has changed the world in many ways. As a result, these 12 skills have become basically useless. How many of them did you master?
