What about knot tying? I, and a lot of people I work with are big fans.

They are ancient, but still the preferred method of doing many practical things. That's really something special.

Everyone, myself included, seems to love the ambiance of real candlelight, but for basic, utilitarian stuff like finding my keys in the dark or making a snack in a power outage, I'd rather use an LED.

If I want to hang something I'm just going to tie a knot, and I won't be annoyed at all that I don't have some fancy piece of hardware(Not that I'm against such things for hyper specialized applications or to help people with disabilities).
