The book store ain’t going anywhere, I still prefer reading hard copies of
book rather than staring at my phone screen.
I miss Blockbuster :(
Oh, no way. No freaking way digital books are better than paper books. This
is something I refuse to give up. Nothing beats a beautiful book made of
paper.
People should still know how to read a map. You have to use your brain
sometimes people.
All of these were improved by the internet: faster and better service, less
waste, easy access from almost anywhere.
But I guess some people still go to a monastery to get their book
handwritten by a monk?
Books made of paper is still better than electronic one. What will you do
if there’s no internet, low battery and no power sources near by or the
device fell and malfunction?
I am still a proponent of paper atlas, mainly because I don’t want to rely
on my phones battery not dying.
Its about time the fucking paper dies. Most unethitical shit ever. This
saves so many more trees and habitat life. Wood market still alive tho. :(
Book stores like Barn and Nobles still exist except they sold out 25% of
their store to starbucks and another 25% is now either legos, children’s
toys, or a nook help center or something like that. Kinda what radio shack
did when people stopped buying individual hardware parts…

I still don’t know how to get peoples phone numbers without the phone book.
“Middle-person”? I thought the term “middle-man” was just a thing people
said. I didn’t know it had to die the death of political correctness
too…
Yeah, mail is totally obsolete. When i want to have something shipped to
me, i just reach through the computer screen and grab it. No need for mail!
Oh, Wait…
I can’t live without books or letters :(
I have that record player in the thumbnail, it plays radio, CDs, cassettes,
and vinyl
Video killed the radio star…
but with newspapers like the new york times didnt they just turn digninal
and subscription based
sometimes you hust gota let go of tech and really on instinct. i drove to
kentucky from sc folllowing my gps(garmin) needless to say the gps was
leading me the wrong way and crashed froze up. i pull out my phone and had
no service (forgot to pay bill) so i was left with using a compass and
following a map i stopped to look at on the road, wrote down some
directions and made it to my destination. not gon lie i was nervous/scared.
but now i have lots of confidence often saying fuk a gps.
So much would go to hell if Internet disappeared
I’m pretty sure Gamestop is still making big money
and gps sucks balls sorry but im ok with asking for directions cause what
if all the satalites one day crash and not work what then huh everyone
huh???!!!!
R.I.P. Radio Shack.
about that music part, maybe you should fucking compare digital crap to
analog? analog sounds waaaayyy better than digital crap, besides, most
underground music cant be bought or downloaded from internet -.- also some
people collect cd’s c-casettes AND vinyls, and analog sound is making
comeback :PPP ggwp
blockbuster *was* my childhood. i dont give a shit what other people say,
i’d rather have blockbuster than netflix.
