I found this thanks to one of the Bloggy Network blogs, LifeSpy, it is a list of computer skills that are dying or have died off. For me, this list really comes close to home, as my cousin recently finished learning Cobol, a computer language still used by the health system here in Canada.

  • Cobol
  • Non-relational DBMS
  • Non-IP Networks
  • cc:Mail
  • ColdFusion
  • C programming
  • PowerBuilder
  • Certified NetWare Engineers
  • PC network administrators
  • OS/2

The list comes from Computerworld, and you can read the full details behind each item on their site. Do you think any other skills should be added to that list or have they included something that you don’t think is dying or dead. Let me know.
