I know this is tongue-in-cheek, but none of the "skills" mentioned are very valuable. People one hundred years ago also took every convenience available. Maybe your average turn of the century citizen could use a radio, but few could build or repair one. Information access and understanding is WAY higher in general than ever before. Anyone who can use a google map can use a regular map, they'll just be frustrated by the lack of information that was never there. People rely on these new sources of information that augment the old, limited information. It's not replacing anything.
