Obsolete Skills

A gentleman by the name of Robert Scoble recently came up with an idea to make a list of skills that are obsolete or we no longer use.

How many do you remember using and how hold do they make you feel?

Dialing a rotary phone
Setting the needle on a vinyl record
Changing a track on an 8 track tape
Getting off the couch to change channels
Letting your fingers do the walking
Using a Mimeograph machine to copy papers
Rolling down the car window
Returning soda bottles to stores to get deposit back
Untangling the phone cord
Wearing a girdle
Winding up your watch
Adjusting TV's rabbit ears
Making coffee in a perculator
Using a typewriter
Winding clocks

Got a good one I've not listed here? Drop me a comment and let me hear it. Show your age!
