Element has been infiltrating without modernity and in most cases technology has facilitated ease, speed and efficiency in performing certain works. These are convenient helped along by the new possibilities, but there is the implication that most of the antique hand-on goods are not merely losing their fashionability, but also dying out. Machines and programs are replacing the crafts that many years have been perfected and the activities that are done day time and used to be done manually. It is not just the industries and the way that people study, work and cooperate with their powers that are impacted by the transformation. It is a human perception of using a top ten practical skills that is gradually being tested and modified in the 21 st century by technology.
Calligraphy and handwriting
With the world being full of keyboards, touch screens and voice dictation, handwriting has ceased being a common application. Maximum internet communication is the new trend and fine hand writing is a luxury that is indulged in by people.
Manual Navigation
The utilization of paper maps and compass were referred to as travel and exploration. Using GPS and smart phone applications during the time, one can be guided to a pin point accuracy hence the conventional capacity of orienting in any direction is not used much.
Traditional Typing Skills
Touch typing was an indication of efficiency in the office. The voice to text, predictive text technology, swipe key boards made it a lesser point to the art of learning how to type in a faster manner.
Cash Handling
The bank tellers and the shopkeepers would necessarily have to count their physical money and arithmetically count their money on a daily basis. To a great extent, these are automated by the means of the digital payments, the contactless cards, and mobile wallets.
Maths No Calculators at primary school
Before the invention of the smartphones or even before writing, people were able to do either maths on their fingertips, or on paper. This might have also meant that the application or a search engine now can think or learn to solve even a complex equation within few seconds without even being taught not to do it in his/her mind.
Manual Record Keeping
All these were also put in books and hand written records that represented finances and inventories. Tracking, backups and reporting have all been automated through software, use of manual record books has been eliminated in the past.
Mechanical Repairs
The work of appliances, electronics and cars, was one that was done manually but through tinkering as a minor repair is done. The part and type of diagnostics is particularly configured on the new equipment that causes individuals to depend on the skilled or automated repair of the equipment.
Printing and Typesetting
The ancient typesetting and layout trade has been replaced by publisher tools and printers. It involved time and hand work that would have otherwise been used in addressing issues that were earlier made with few clicks.
The history of the motion picture photography
Film development as an art experiment and science. The digital photography and preview on the fly have enormously eliminated chemical treatment and extensive manual labor.
Manual Drafting and Drawing
The technique employed during the period of technical drawing involved the application of draft table, rulers and hard hands. The software currently in place is used to automate the accuracy, revision and conversion of the plans which are graphical.
