Was telling my wife the other day, if tomorrow say aliens jam our satellites, we shall be screwed. All information highways will stop…and doomsday will happen 
What will I do in that case. I will cook….because thats one real world skill that could quite easily be the worlds second oldest profession.
On a serious note….think hard….its essential to constantly measure how much of a real world skill are we acquiring in this artificial and abstracted world.
I can cook, work like a carpenter, paint, do some plumbing, drive cars…..each of them is a real world skill….that might one day save my life.
And I believe in that
Real world skills also ensure that portions of the brain – other than ones which are actively used to deal with abstraction – will continued to be greased…..so in a real world crisis….a “real world skilled” person will deal better with the emergency.
So much for gyan
