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 country?

In the olden days, many people
stitch
their outfits and repair things at
home
by themselves. Presently,
this
trend is declining because of the excessive provision of a commercial tailor, carpenters, and other skilled workers.
Moreover
, people become busier, and they do not have enough
time
to spend on it.
Similarly
,
this
trend is reducing in my country
also
. In the present day, people do not have enough
time
and skills to
stitch
their cloth and doing menial work at their homes. That's because people are spending plenty of
time
to enhance their professional careers and after work do not feel to have enough energy for the repairs and stitching. The provision of many paid professionals who
stitch
the cloth with utmost perfection, new style, and in a short span of
time
comes on-board.
Also
, people can buy ready-made outfits from fabric shops.
Similarly
, with small repairs at
home
like drilling, changing electric switches
,
Accept space
,
to assemble faucets, these days, people hire professionals to perform
such
works. In my country, Pakistan, a similar trend prevailing day by day. I remember, In my
home
, my mother and grandmother used to
stitch
their clothes and curtains for windows and balcony.
Similarly
, My father used to repair iron, cassette players, drilling on walls, and changing switched every
time
as needed. Nowadays the young generation is flamboyant, and does not want to waste their
time
in
such
things because they easily purchase their clothes from shops and discard any
home
item if it needs repair and buy a new one. To summarize, I agree, the olden trends are speedily declining around the world along with my country.
