Here we go, 2011 - here we go


I've been perusing  2010-In-Review articles, looking for fodder for a new year's post.  I thought this piece from huffingtonpost.com was interesting.   It looks at 20 different things that became obsolete last decade.  While I won't recount all 20 here, these were a few that made me feel pretty old - considering I remember SOME of them when they were new.  

   VCRs and VHS Tapes


Travel Agents


Maps 
(ok - I don't remember these when they were new)


Newspaper Classifieds
(or these)


Encyclopedias
(ditto)


CDs


Fax Machines


Makes me wonder what new gadgets and trends these days will be considered obsolete by 2021.  Will we look at iPads then and say "that's SO 2010 !"  ? ?
