Gosh - all these things from our "era" are going out the door, if they haven't already. I am a die hard and still keep some of these things or ways . . . good to keep around for history lessons for our kids

. Let's see . . . word processors, film and disposable cameras, film processing places, Walkman (to play cassette tapes, also out, and CDs on the go), tape players, phone/address books . . . I know there's more!

I do as well but, there will come a time when we can't get parts or something that will cause us to have to do away with them too.

Manners. No manners anymore. No respect for older generation to the extent of abuse.

So true. And no thought to traditions or respect for them.

You've covered a lot of stuff I would have mentioned. I remember using carbon paper to make copies. Phone books are not needed anymore. I also remember diners with jukeboxes at each booth to put your coins in for music.

Carbon was so messy and could be frustrating.

@celticeagle It certainly was that! The photocopier was a nice upgrade when it came out.

I wrote 3 checks this year. And the reason I did, my debit card stopped working and the bank said it was a glitch, I had to wait a couple of days for a replacement. I gave up newspapers several years ago, the expense wasn't worth it when the news is so readily available. I do find myself still missing that ''Sunday'' morning feeling of the fat newspaper and fresh coffee.

@celticeagle I always just loved that Sunday paper...but so many papers are no longer in business, or have gone to online paid subscriptions, the feel of online is just not the same for me, somehow.

I was born in the 50's so there's a lot of things that has been out dated or removed since the 50's like Cassett tapes reel to reel tapes, typewriters, vcr tapes, cable t v & so on.
