Happy new year people!  As we enter a new decade, there are certain things that will stick around and certain things that will be on the way out.  I was thinking about this earlier today and there are SEVERAL “old technologies” that have/will be replaced and/or rendered obsolete as of 2010.  Some of them will stick around for a little while but eventually they will fall by the wayside for newer, more effective means of communication.

• Rolodexes – All my contacts are online now and synced to my phone.
• Floppy Disks - I think I have some important things saved on some of these (who knows where they are exactly) and I will have no way to get them LOL.
• Answering Machines – Helloooo?  Voicemail.
• Yellow Pages – Google has replaced this one.  I haven’t used a phone book in 7 years.
• Phone Booths - when was the last time you used one of these??  Everyone has a cell phone now.
• Conventional Photography (with film & negatives) – Digital photography, rendering and editing has taken over, even photographers use SLR cameras.
• Land Line Telephones – SO many people I know don’t have one of these and if they do it’s VOIP.

Have a wonderful, happy and safe new year.  May you live in prosperity and abundance.
