Thank you Oldtanker!
Too many Curmudgeons in the world!
I have not used cursive since 5th grade and still managed to get the fine motor skills to do surgery through a microscope. I do not have any clocks with hands other than a grandfather's clock. No phones with a rotary dial, the only vehicle with a foot dimmer is a 1952 dodge truck, and so on and so on. I would truly have to think to go through the times tables up to 12X12. I still do calculus for fun but have no real need for times tables now that calculators are around. I doubt I would know how to run a team of horses or mules for plowing, no idea how to make a candle from tallow, no idea how to mine a coal seam on my knees, spin wool into yarn, cut someone's hair so it was presentable, how to shave with a straight razor, I can make soap from fat and lye but have no idea how to make soap from wood ashes and fat, etc... which are all things my grandparents could do.
Things change and the skills needed for life change. That does not make younger folks dumb, stupid, lazy, or a combination of the above.
