Tying your shoelaces is "lost technology." When I was in first grade nearly everyone could tie their shoes properly.
Today, I can go weeks and not see anyone in public with their laces in the proper bow knot. (This includes professional athletes.)
When did we collectively lose the ability to dress ourselves? And why?

(We've taught them how to tie laces on multiple occasions but it's pointless if they don't have shoes where they need to tie them)
