[QUOTE="Dukes Fit, post: 7999849, member: 4429"] I sometimes think I've not a clue how to do things compared to the old fellas or yesteryear but then I realise that the skill sets that they had and the ones I have are chalk and cheese. I've not a clue how to plough with a horse, work a binder, or build a stook but I can use a 5 furrow reversible, drive a modern combine harvester and pull apart, rebuild and repair 99% of machines. The only stuff I can't do are the things that require proprietary software. Skills evolve and change and yes we have lost some skills, some skills aren't in as much demand as the world has progressed and only come to the fore when something becomes specialist. But we have gained skills that we didn't have before. It's sad but unfortunately the world is evolving and what was once a common skill sometimes becomes so niche and specialist that it costs money to keep going. [/QUOTE]
