Baby Boomer Life Skills that are USELESS Today

- Back in the day, there were all these life skills that everyone swore by. But fast forward to today, and it's like, who even needs those anymore? The old ways are totally outdated. So, which old-school life skills are now irrelevant? Let's take a look at the dusty ol’ floppy disk, shall we?

You may want to change the title to Gen X, we can do all of this, and I do not believe being able to read a map is useless 😆
"Elder Millennial" here.....I've done all of these.
I admit I can write in cursive! Even though it looks like a 3rd grader wrote it! And I prefer a stick over an automatic transmission any day!
They should do another video about Boomers whose cursive skills have steadily disappeared as tech has progressed. I used to have the most gorgeous handwriting - use it or lose it. And yes, stick shift always
God bless you tube music. Born in 1975. You're right. The cassette tape was a pain in the butt
My first car was a 1976 VW bug with a standard H shift transmission. I paid $300 for it in 1990 from a pilot friend of ours.
I happen to still balance a checkbook to this day. 😊
I haven’t balanced a checkbook in thirty years! 😊
I came in at the tail end of a lot of these skills. I can't sew beyond basic mending, but everything else I've done at some point in my life. My high school boyfriend taught me to drive a stick, we learned how to balance checkbooks in 7th grade math and I kept one up until my mid-twenties, and I was still using paper maps in my late teens even when MapQuest was big.
I can remember practicing writing in cursive for 30 minutes every night. I hated it but I admit I do have beautiful penmanship and I love it! Ironic isn't it?
When I did a mix tape. I would look at the length of the tape I had. I would write down the duration for each song. Trying to figure out where to place each song. So I can have the most amount of songs total.
Some times we didn't have a duel cassette deck. So we would put together 2 music boxes and hoped no one walked in and messed up your recording session.
Manual transmission is no thing of the past. Here in Europe most people prefer manual transmission instead of automatic
It costs more to rent an automatic in Europe
They will no longer be making anymore of them.
Custom made coed tapes were as fun to make as they were to listen to
I still drive a stick shift 😅
And I bet you don’t have to worry about the car being stolen. 😎😷
Stick shift “Grind it till you find it!”
Keypad nothing! How about using a dial phone? 😮
Making a mix tape you had to hope that disc jockey would not talk over the song!
My grandma used a sewing machine that wasn’t even electric! It worked using foot pedals!
Millennial here. I can do almost all of these. Admittedly I've never made a mix tape or read a map, and I can't use a sewing machine, but I can drive stick and write checks and the rest.
I want to learn how to sew .
I still use paper maps and I drive a 5 speed stick (and a 4 speed stick from 87). When using something like google maps, when you zoom in you lose sense of where you are. That doesn't happen with paper maps.
My cursive writing was so bad the teacher let me print. My dad has GPS on his truck and still refuses to use it and pulls out one of those old maps😂
All that retro stuff was cool to have so to say it was useless is funny. Also I was a child when first using these things and I am not a baby boomer lol.
Even with GPS, I still study where I'm going. I don't trust GPS. I can find a better route.
Those skills will be needed again with the incoming black out
In TX.
I got my first cell phone in 1998.
Sometimes gps can be wrong,too.
Exactly !!!
Thank you for sharing.
Cursive writing does not mean what I think it does. - Bart Simpson
I had to use a paper map the first time I drove to my girlfriend's house and my GPS died on me.
The only thing we used curse handwriting for is our signature
This is funny….inaccurate but funny. Sewing is only a lost skill when you realize you are willing to spend $80 to see 20 inches of hem on your pants. If you want to really drive you drive a stick. Funny
I remember when cars used to run on gasoline. Remember that. You used to have to fill the car up with a liquid fuel. Now, we just charge our cars like we charge our cell phones and laptops
Well, we're not quite there yet. A little under 90% of cars still run on gasoline and it will be at least 2050 before we see electric powered cars dominating the roadways. You make it sound like all gas powered cars are antiques! Don't make time go any faster than it already does, PLEASE!!
Ok listen closely. Boomer means baby boomer it has a definition. Stop doing this “boomer is anything older than me”. No boomer ever made a fucking mixtape
This video's just pathetic.
If they stop producing manual transmissions I’d just as soon stop driving. Automatics are so very boring 🥱
