Fire
The art of making fire in this modern age is a failing art, and no longer do the family gather around the fireplace to get warm. Technological advancement is a fine thing, but the loss of social interaction where people sat around the fireplace and spoke to each other rather than talking into a piece of plastic as is the modern way today and something we may later live to regret. The fireplace once held the focus of family life and its importance is reflected in the number of goods that were made especially for the fireplace.
