Comment on Things You'll Never See, Hear or Use

Comments

Heh. In the last month I've used/seen/heard or heard all of:

* tape salad (been unpacking some old boxes recently)

* a pump screwdriver (I like things that work without batteries)

* record needles (we've got about... four? five? record player in the house and own about 16 foot of records)

* CD’s (burnt one last week - did feel rather retro doing so though :-)

* anything using film (again - digging out some stuff from the garage last week)

* A phone booth (used one last night since I managed to leave my iPhone at home)

* A letter handwritten just for you or by you (still get 'em. still write 'em)

* Trying to re-fold a map (a few weeks back at a conference)

* Steam trains (we have http://www.swanagerailway.co.uk/ nearby and fairly regularly see steam trains in the area)

* a type writer (still got my grandfathers portable. still works too.)

* tipp-ex (is in the desk for when we need it)

The article said "if you’re born today". So in other words it's a list of stuff that will be gone from the mainstream 2020 or so.
