Great article. Thanks. List:

Landlines - payphones - Flashlights - Calculators - Timers - Guitar tuners - Cameras - Photo albums - Alarm clocks - Maps/GPS - Address books.

True. My iPhone has replaced everything, thankfully.

The seniors (over 80) in my family use landlines, address books, paper calendars, television news, alarm clocks, kitchen timers, photo albums, and percolators.

I am far far from 80 but have & use all those things in my house. Not everything digital is good and I have purposely not made those changes. Life is good!

I'm 34 and still use every one of these. Maybe I hang out with too many old folks. 😂

That’s my coffee pot. Although I use a smart plug that works with Alexa. I tell Alexa “turn on coffee pot.” Coffee is ready before I get out of bed.
