Some things will be Obsolete ....maybe we will miss them

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I can appreciate a bound book for nostalgic purposes but I really love the ebooks. I'm always reading on my Iphone. It's always there so if I'm waiting in line or get caught up in a bad traffic jam I have my book with me. It's nice when you have a really long book, I used to get so tired of trying to get comfortable with a big book. Plus I have arthritis in my hands so it would eventually start to hurt. Reading on my Ipone doesn't hurt my eyes at all. I look at a computer all day at work so it's really no different. I think I'm just used to that now. If I want to read in bed or on a road trip I don't have to worry about a book light. Plus it's saving lots of trees! And when I get really into a series I don't have to run out to get the next one. I just hit a button and it's right there and I can keep going with barely a pause.

Music will NEVER die! The industry may change but there will always be music. I don't think an album should be as expensive as it is anyway. It always bugged me when you run out and buy an album and then you end up only likeing a couple songs on it.

The privacy thing does suck and is scary but usually you don't even notice and if your just an average joe then there really isn't much point to them watching everything you do anyway. I imagine my life would look pretty boring to the outsider. Suprise she's going back to the fish store. So long as "They" leave me alone I don't really care what they watch.

I could care less if the post office or checks disappear. I don't use them anyway. All I get in the mail is junk and bills and I haven't used checks for years. Paying your bills online is so convient. I do it though my bank so everything is in one spot, five minutes and everything is done.

I'm so curious to see how things are when my kids grow up. Things are changing so fast now there are bound to be some adjustment problems for everyone at some point. But how you adjust to things is what constitutes a survivor I think.
 
I have the photos up in a different thread.

The population is bigger than before and its only the result of becoming more efficient. We have the technology, so we might as well embrace it. Now those things will never be totally obsolete, but will diminish i'm sure. Less waste and limiting expenses is great.
 
oh god this is depressing.
cant live without my books or cds....the only thing i know how to work on a comp is facebook, here and email.
im a technophobe.
dont get me wrong, i have an ipod...its about 5 years old and has no music on it...cant work it out.
now they got these book things out ....a) i wont b owning one until they r sold at garage sales and b) i doubt il b able to work it out then.

im going to b lonely :-(
 
as an IT I can confidently say none of that is going away, it's just going online.

fyi equating the current record labels with music itself made me lol literally. A little more research will show you that music is stonger than ever, it's nowhere near going away.


newpapers = online news

television = hulu and netflix

dvd's blu-ray, vhs = hulu and netflix

a few more

postcards = email, picture messaging, skype

snail mail = the same

check = echeck I already process all checks I recieve this way


and by far the funniest to me as an IT is sayign that landlines are goign away. Hate to break it to you but all communication is sent via landline still and will be forever, all satallites and wireless communications are merely routers, all actual networking takes place via landlines. Phones thus apply as well. All emergency lines are landlines and all cell lines are hooked to land lines.

the only thing changing in any of the above is the interface. and don't worry hard copies of everything will still exist for a long time now as well. They will simply become less prevalent.

Yup, 30 minutes of waiting for the sun to break through the clouds. The marble literally glows at sunset!
