What skills did almost everybody have 50 years ago, but few people have today? - SLRPNK

I suppose it would be mostly practical skills, cooking, fixing things. Usually had to be done by people themselves. Maybe also mental things like navigating (with or without paper map) and remembering their daily and weekly agendas. What other things would be a big difference with the people today?

The ability to solve your own problems.

IMO, critical thinking is the single most important skill a human can learn. Teach a man to fish and all that.

They don’t/cant learn that in today’s world. They have abandoned learning and switched it out with answers to everything.
