In the past many people had skills such as making their own clothes and doing repairs to things in the house. In many countries, nowadays, skills like these are disappearing.Why do you think this change is happening?How far is this situation true in your

The world has been advancing at a tremendous rate. The technology available has grown with leaps and bounds.

If we look at how things were done in the olden times, we will find a lot of differences as compared to the modern world.

In the olden times, majority of the work was done by people themselves without any help from outside. People enriched their lives by learning many skills which they used to get by on their own without any specialized help.

One of the skill possessed by the older generation was the skill of making their own clothes. Unlike today, people then did not have high earning power for them to be able to afford clothes from shops.

Another skill possessed by the older generation was the skill to be able to repair things around the house. Minor problems like the radio not working, or the mixer grinder being stuck did not require them to send these items out to the mechanics for repair. Rather, they fixed these items right at home. SO what if the table leg was a little wobbly. You didn't need a carpenter to fix it.

But, nowadays, if we look around, people would rather have the work, like minor repairs or even stitching of clothes, done from outside sources.

This paradigm shift has resulted mainly from the better purchasing power of the population at large. People have high paying jobs and enough money, so that they are willing to pay for getting things done rather than trying their hands at them. Why bothering learning something when you can have it ready-made for a little money?

This situation is particularly true in my country. today with better education opportunities available, people are able to get high paying jobs. Earning good money makes it possible for them to be able to spend money on minor jobs that they want done to make their life more comfortable.
