From HuffPo via Joe.My.God. - a list of things made obsolete in the past decade:
hand-written letters- the Yellow Pages
- dial-up
- landlines
- CDs
- classified print ads
- encyclopedias
- catalogs
- film cameras
- fax machines
The Yellow Pages is still very handy here in a small town. And once in a while I buy a CD, but I'm getting around to buying music online. Have to tell you, it's an odd feeling when I think about it - owning a song but no physical disc that it belongs to. Strange.
This thought comes from a man who still has about 200 LP's sitting in boxes. All that great music - I can't just throw it away, even if I don't have a record player to play them on.
And I'm not even going to tell you about my 8-track collection. . . .
