Practical skills for functioning in todays work force would definitely include computer skills. That would be typing, preparing Word documents and using the internet, spreadsheets and other basic computer programs. If you are not efficient with a computer there are very few jobs that you can get today.

Knowing how to read and write and also to communicate verbally are essential. Again, if you cannot do this then you will have difficulty finding a job. If you cannot work then you cannot provide for yourself and your family.

No child should leave home without knowing how to cook for themselves, do basic cleaning and laundry and how to care for themselves when they are ill (including knowing that it is time to go to the doctor).

Without these skills a persons survival can be questioned.

basic knowledge in all fields is essential.
(visit www.howstuffworks.com,www.faqs.org,www.britannica.com )
gunpowder , telephone , aeroplane -- all were invented more than 100 years back.
so i think atleast we should have the capacity to do
1)to make a simple wireless device.(electronics)
2)knowledge cure a simple fever or head ache (first aid)
3)to make small weapens like country gun.(chemical)
4)to repair a simple automobile.(two or four wheeler transport)
5)to solve simple mathemetic problems using computer.
(technology)
6)to try to creat or invent a new thing (creativity)
7) atleast once in our life time we should think about where the
earth is going .(knowledge of universe and solar system )
if someone without this practical basic skills , i can call him a
useless eaters.
