Because knowing the names of all Kardashians is NOT a skill. Based on this thread from Reddit .
The ability to write legibly.
Let's face it: Handwriting is basically over. Looking at old birthday cards from your grandparents makes them seem like professional calligraphers. Your handwriting, on the other hand, looks like you were writing while riding a horse that was fed nothing but Red Bull.

Memorizing more than two phone numbers.
Go ahead and write five phone numbers you have memorized. Can't do it, can you? Your grandparents memorized every family member, best friend, plus the local movie theater number (how else were they supposed to know when movies were playing?). You just plug numbers into your phone and are then forced to ask everyone on Facebook to send you their number when you lose said phone.

Knowing how to use a phone book.
This was your grandparents' Google. Need a dentist? Phone book. Prank call your teacher? Phone book. It used to be you weren't anybody until you were "in" the phone book. Now you're not somebody unless you have your own reality show.

The most basic of auto maintenence.
With the disappearance of shop class it is no wonder that many of us, myself included, are seriously lacking in this area. Our grandparents could change a tire, spark plugs, batteries, you name it. Now if you get a flat you just call AAA and play Candy Crush until they arrive. BTW, Level 40!
