Inspired by HP's list of obsolete things

I remember



someone would pick the phone downstairs and I'd be "dhiga tilifonka! internetkaan ku jiraa!"

but I had a crappy computer...more times than not, I was staring at this screen

of course if we're going to consider CD's obsolete, we should add these as well



I recently watched an episode of the old Martin Lawrence show...the one where he buys a brand new cd player only for it to be "borrowed" by broman...I had a hard time remembering how valuable those things were ($400.00)

lol...They did a study not too long ago and played the the old school Dial-up modem sound for a bunch of 9 yr olds, and none of them know what it was! Skipper, You know what else fully disappears in the next decade? The Floppy disks! Everyone has a USB flashdrive nowadays.

True Amethyst! the floppy disk, the vcr...damn, I am ashamed to admit that I even remember the cassette tape and the vinyl lp's

[Amethyst]

lol@ cassette tapes! Ah, the good ole days when up-and-coming artists would wait for hours & hide backstage just to meet someone famous to hand em their "mix-tape". lol. Nowadays, all anyone has to do is spruce up their myspace pages, or sing on Youtube and they'd get signed.

Btw, Antenna Tv's are all phased out with the Digital switch. Add that to the list. lol.

I was no up and comer but I sure had a mix tape...an old somali tunes cassette that I dubbed over, I loved it because I painstakingly put it together by listening to the radio for hours and waiting for my favorite songs to come on
