You forgot those fat yellow telephone books. Who is going to “let your fingers do the walking” when you can go online and pull the info up in an instant?

My wife’s phone book collection will still be here when they excavate this lost and dead civilization.

She has kept every phone book from the last 35 years because there, “might be a number in there she needs”. Yup, from the last 6 places we have lived, got ‘em all.

Why? I ain’t got a single clue.

Catalogs are about as bad. Sounds like a form of hoarding.

Ten years ago my friend got a job out of college working for the Yellow Pages selling ads. I told him to get a new job. The only thing the yellow pages were good for was starting fires.

My mailman hates me already because I never check the mail. It is only junk. I pay all my bills online.

I will miss newspapers only because they are good for eating crabs and cleaning fish.

I had a landline for about a year in my house until I realized that I only used it to call the pizza guy and then I got rid of it. I have gone 9 years cell only.

I will not give up hard copy books. I have a kindle and a tablet but they don’t always work on the beach or in the treestand while hunting.

I need TV for football and hockey.

Most of my music is classic country, classic rock, classical and reggae. Today’s music sucks, but maybe I am just getting old.

I have worn a watch since high school. I will not give it up.
