25 Skills Every Black Kid Had in the 1970s Kids Today Can't Do!!

Every Black kid in the 1970s possessed 25 practical skills modern kids can't do: adjusting TV antennas, using rotary phones, reading paper maps, fixing bikes with minimal tools, making cassette mixtapes, using encyclopedias, calculating math mentally, operating sewing machines, jumping double dutch, playing dozens, using library card catalogs, cooking from scratch, navigating by landmarks, parallel parking, driving stick shift, and 10 others. These weren't exceptional capabilities—they were survival requirements born from circumstances that demanded resourcefulness, self-sufficiency, and hands-on competence. We learned these skills because we needed them—couldn't afford repairs so we fixed things ourselves, couldn't afford entertainment so we created it, had limited technology so we developed practical capabilities. Modern kids have different skills for different world, but hands-on competence and resourcefulness developed through necessity have value worth preserving.
