I'm only 26 and I've got several of these "obsolete" skills.

Wow -- quite a few chuckles there...
As a went down the list I couldn't help smiling and chuckling at some of the entries. So many are computer based and some I hadn't thought about in years. I can remember punching a hole in a 5.25 floppy to make it double sided, that sure brings back memories. I have half a dozen boxes of 5.25" disks stored somewhere, but I'd be hard pressed to find a 5.25" drive to see what is on them.
To be honest some are pretty obscure, quite an odd list if you think about it, but he is right those are obsolete skills by any measure.

There's a 5.25" drive in the computer I use every day at work. I had it on-hand at the time I built the computer, so popped it in. I've never had occasion to use that drive so I'm not sure it works.

I can compose a simple, declarative sentence.
That, unfortunately, seems to be an obsolete skill...
