Arbitrary goal of 200 has been reached.
Here's a fun thing to do on a Sunday. I was thinking of all the everyday objects that I no longer need as much or as often because I carry a smart phone. Because I'm old, I may prefer the older way of doing things or maybe the old ways were superior. Nevertheless I need the old things less often and I certainly can't carry all of them around in my pocket.
Here is a very short beginning to a list. I invite other PF members to add to the list.
Make it easier by continuing the numbering your entries, so that the last post in this thread has the highest number. I ended at 41, so the next post should begin with 42. My guess is that we can go well past 200.
