things that are becoming obsolete...

You know I love these articles. Money Talks says these things will soon be obsolete;

1. Cash -  it kind of is already but I think it's still going to be a long time before it goes away
2. Remote controls - their argument was because of apps on your phone, remotes will become obsolete. But...doesn't that mean that your phone will become the remote control? hmmm
3. Car keys - I totally buy this one! Having a new car that doesn't have a key is pretty awesome. Also, we don't have a front door key. We have a keypad instead. Again, awesome!
4. Hotel room keys - is there still such a thing? Oh wait, we stayed in a motel recently that had an actual key. It was weird.
5. House keys - see #3
6. Manual transmission cars - did you know that only 4% of all 2018 car sales were stick shifts?!
7. College textbooks - Absolutely! In this digital age, save a tree, your back & shoulders and tons of money.
8. Mail collection boxes - Nooooo! I need a place to drop my cards in! Oh wait...
9. Shopping malls - I don't know what to think about this one. My mom and I were just in the mall not too long ago. Granted, it didn't look like the 'hang-out' it used to be but there were still a lot of people there.
10. Plastic bags - I'm feeling better about this one. The more I have to dispose of those, the more my own tote bags appeal to me.
11. Straws - well, they jumped on the bandwagon to add this to the list. Maybe there should be a bigger push for "don't be a litterbug" instead of banning trash.
12. Checks - I'm still on the same box of checks I bought 11 years ago. Yeah, I'm in.
13. Desktop computers - I guess it depends; at work? no way. At home? yep. I see laptops everywhere.
14. Print catalogs - what? I guess these people don't check their own mailboxes in October and November!! I LOVE wish books!!!
15. GPS devices - so, this one is misleading. I'll have to call bullshit on this one.
16. Print magazines - nope. NO WAY advertisers will let this go.
17. Alarm clocks - but does everyone have a smart phone?? come on.
18. Landlines - I sure don't miss ours!
19. CD's - I was just talking about this...isn't it funny that my new high tech car still comes with a CD player?!
20. DVD's - I don't know. I have quite a few 'digital' movies but again, not everyone has Netflix or Amazon Prime. I don't buy this.
