Maybe also mental things like navigating (with or without paper map) and remembering their daily and weekly agendas.

What other things would be a big difference with the people today?

    Or have gone commercial. People are definitely still manually creating, but a lot of it has been made to be sold, either for personal gain or to be able to afford to live.
