The choice is simple. Fear or resignation.
Here is a list of very outdated technologies for which I am neither nostalgic nor longing, but which I have used in my lifetime:
Rotary phones
Incandescent light bulbs
Tape-recording answering machines
Disposable 35mm cameras
Phone books
Checks
Purchasing CDs and Tapes
But then again, I wonder if I have too many toes wet in the technology pool. For instance, I realized this week that I have Facebook and MySpace accounts, a new twitter account, and a blog, all of which I can manage at virtually any time from my smart phone. It has become time to ask myself if this is my salvation or damnation, although both effects are not entirely contrary.
