50 new things and 10 that should die!
50 things that changed our lives in the aughts
10 obsolete technologies to kill in 2010
Comments:
- I still occasionally use a FAX. Always at work and outbound. I use EFAX for all inbound Faxes
- I still like the CD's. I bought 4 this holiday season
- Still have the landline phone but could do without it. If (when) we buy our own cell phones instead of using company cells ... we will ditch the landline
- We have satellite radio in the Buick. Probably wouldn't have it in another car
Other: I plowed snow for probably an hour. My house, Mrs Finke's and Paul the neighbor across the street. A very heavy 6-7" of snow. I got the tractor stuck on a ridge at the end of the driveway and Kathee had to shovel me out. I used half a tank of gas. We took the truck out and bought 7 more gallons in 2 containers. I expect to plow again at 5 (before dinner) and maybe again at 10 or so
How about checks? Does anyone still use them? I'm old-fashioned and still use them to send in the US Mail to pay a bill. Although I think I'm getting more and more in the minority. What about anyone else. Do you still use checks?
ReplyDeleteI haven't written a check in over 5 years! Of course, that's mostly because I live in a country where no merchants accept them. But I can pay my bills online in Indonesia, so I certainly hope that will be the same in the US when I move back.
ReplyDeleteAnd does it blow anyone else's mind that the landline phone, while not yet obsolete, most certainly will be in the next 10-20 years? It hasn't been very many years since it was still a complete necessity!
ReplyDeleteI also like the author's idea for modifying the power receptacles in vehicles - it makes complete sense.
We have almost given up on checks. I think we wrote 5 this past year.
