Going going...going...GONE!

A friend of mine sent me this article by Walletpop.com and it caught my attention.

24. Yellow Pages - Thanks to the Internet! Unless you don't have the net at home...Like me! =(

21. Dial-up Internet Access - Good I hate that WAAAAAAAOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEE sound!

20. Phone Landlines - Why have that extra house phone bill! CALL MY CELL!

19. Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs - Overfishing, pollution, invasive species and global warming get the blame.

18. VCRs - Only VHS tapes I have are home movies...

17. Ash Trees - In the late 1990's the Emerald Ash Borer (beetle from Asia) hitched a ride to with ash wood being imported from Asia. Less than a decade these bastards killed millions of trees!

16. Ham Radio - Proliferation of the Internet and its popularity among youth has caused the decline of amateur radio

15. The Swimming Hole - As injuries occur and lawsuits follow, expect more swimming holes to post "Keep out!" signs. Money grubbing skanks!

14. Answering Machines - Who needs that when I have my voicemail? BTW I hardly every check my messages anyway!

13. Cameras That Use Film - DIGITAL PEOPLE DIGITAL!

11. Stand-Alone Bowling Alleys - Why just bowl when you can laser tag and go kart too!

10. The Milkman - Guess those husbands don't have to worry about their wives cheating with the milkman! Now if they could just get rid of the mailman....

9. Hand-Written Letters - Lets look at some numbers shall we? 9. Hand-Written Letters
In 2006, the Radicati Group estimated that, worldwide, 183 billion e-mails were sent each day. Two million each second. By November of 2007, an estimated 3.3 billion Earthlings owned cell phones, and 80% of the world's population had access to cell phone coverage. In 2004, half-a-trillion text messages were sent, and the number has no doubt increased exponentially since then. Why get a cramp on your hand when you can just gt carpal tunnel? LOL

8. Wild Horses - From 2 million to 50,000 down to 32,000...and now they are trying to bring that number down to 27,000 possibly by selective euthanasia! WTF!!!!!!! Guess you little girls won't be getting those ponies anytime soon!

7. Personal Checks - Good I hate having to balance my check book!

6. Drive-in Theaters - Egh there was no privacy anyway! Give me the comfort of my couch or bed!
