I saw this blog post about 24 things about to become extinct and thought that would make a great Tuesday list! Some of these 24 things listed really mean the end of my childhood! I added a couple of library related things in my list.
- Yellow Pages
- Ashtrays in public places
- Movie rental stores - (NetFlix or downloads here we come)
- Dial-up Internet access
- Floppy drives - (thumb or USB drives only please)
- Telephone booths
- Land line telephones and answering machines
- VCRs
- Cameras that use film
- Incandescent bulbs – (Think green!)
- Handwritten letters
- Personal checks
- Microforms – (digital here we come)
- Print news and classified ads – (also print magazines)
Here is a link to what Ross Dawson, futurist and entrepreneur, is predicting will go extinct in the future.
Can you think of others thing to add to either list? Please post a comment and share!

I'd add typewriters to the lists.
I don't think telephone land lines will be going away anytime soon. My husband and I have only cell phones right now, but the short battery life and the concern about emergency situations disrupting or knocking out cell service has got us thinking about adding a land line to our home.
