We always have a land line, push-button phone plugged in and keep a yellow pages directory around. During electrical outages, we usually still have phone service. During a bad storm last summer, electricity was off 3 days and cell phone batteries were low, but we still had the old land line. Also, still keep stationery, greeting cards, envelopes and stamps.

We have a rotary phone from the 40's we can plug in and it will run without electricity. I think DVD's are the next to go

"Hand-written letters"

I write more by hand now, that I did a decade ago. Far more.

See, everything I do for work is stored "on a cloud" somewhere. It was typed in digitally, so it can be available at any keyboard on earth.

I assume that means that Google(TM), Wikileaks and the Government are reading everything your ever saved. Your inventory of survival gear, your late-night discussions you and your friends have, about the new world order; everything. And it can be searched by algorythmns for interesting phrases.

There are some topics, some lines of research, where I store my thoughts on paper, in a drawer, with no electronic interconnectivity whatever. Since it isn't electronic, it doesn't exist in the eyes of the web or the state.

That's real privacy.

Something that was invented AND became obsolete in the same decade..

Myspace

The Constitution is obsolete. It is under a lot of attack.

The vote is obsolete. The vote means nothing.

Privacy is obsolete.

Internet neutrality is obsolete.

File sharing is obsolete.

Pretty soon people will be obsolete.
