There’s a constant stream of new skills to learn as new technologies become common. But there are also skills that, while once considered absolutely foundational, become more curiosities than necessities. Today, we want you to look ahead and tell us what skills you had to learn that will be obsolete by the next few generations.

Maybe you want to focus on a skill that’s already being pushed to the wayside, like cursive writing. Or maybe you want to tell us about one that, while currently important, is likely to quickly be toppled. Tell us in the comments about the things that were once pivotal to know, but are rapidly on their way to becoming historical footnotes.
