Sunday Seven – Episode 247

Last Updated on December 9, 2019

The other day, I arrived home to find a phone book sitting on the sidewalk outside my door.

I honestly don’t remember the last time I used a phone book. I can look up numbers online, and even on my iPhone just as quickly, plus I get a map showing me exactly where the place I’m calling actually is.

I’m sure there are plenty of people who use phone books today, but it’s a shame you can’t opt out of getting them: I hate to be part of wasting that much paper, and for a book I’ll never open, it’s definitely a waste of paper.

But it got me thinking about obsolete things. Here’s a list of many common outmoded items. That list might help you with this week’s question as you search your home for forgotten or not-so-forgotten treasures.

• First to play last week: Cat. of Sweet Memes. Congratulations!

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:
Name seven items you own that many might consider obsolete these days.

Either answer the question in a comment or answer it in your journal and include the link in a comment.
