    They right about everything but radio. TV, records, cd's, mps, internet and Sirius/XM were all supposed to kill radio. Guess who's gone or dying (sirius/XM) and who's still around. Nothing will ever eliminate radio. It may be even, but never beat radio. "Pandora" will be gone before radio.

    I honestly believe that with any and every source of energy we take and consume on Earth, we have to give back with mechanical energy. Every new, "never ending" source of energy has a side effect.

    There are so many things that have gone by the wayside, in just the short time that I have been kickin' around in the world. When I was a kid my siblings and I walked the block and a half to school, when my kids went to school, they walked down to the 1/2 block mark and were picked up by the bus, and now a days I hear the bus comes all the way down to the (get this) dead end street where I grew up, and picks up each kid in their front yards!
    I actually used a pencil and paper to figure out math problems, calculator use was a no-no until I got into high school, and then only for timed tests. I owned an alarm clock (not a phone) to get me up on time, and it had a "face" on it that was not digitalised. When I went into a store, the sales person actually had to count out the change, not just look at a screen to see what was owed back. You took roles of film into stores and had to wait a week or two to see what shots you took. And when you went to a doctor's office and they told you that you had to wait for results, you actually had to wait, there wasn't the internet to run off to for answers. As ElectriC stated jobs are becoming fewer and further between!
    No wonder kids these days have no personal skills, machines are replacing the human brain!

    I was completely with you until the part about the post office. Taxpayer dollars don't support the USPS.

      Actually some taxes do pay for the USPS although the bulk is through the sale of "postal products" such as stamps which were a form of taxation until 1982.

  • Riku  •  5 months ago
    Yeah, because *everyone* will have the money to replace paper products with newer digitalized things.

      Except in time those things will become more common and affordable.. Kind of like how 100 years ago, $100 for something was such a crazy expensive thing.

    You forgot to list these soon to be gone or fading away things. Babies born in 2011 will never know what Jobs are, which are already scarce. Organic unmodified food. Human to human conversation or interaction. Pure unfiltered Water. The Polar Ice Caps. The Ozone. A White Race American and The United States Of America.
