    A governement that governs for the benefit of the people who pay taxes to it.

    Good, non messed with foods.

    Real breasts and other body parts.

    Action in the face of genocide and famine, instead of lip service, crocodile tears and token solutions or donations by people in power to do much more.

    People using real phones or talking in person instead of using a cell phone.

    The ability to use correct grammar through electronic media vs. 'i dont kno', 'gr8t', etc.

    The ability to write a letter using paper and pen/pencil vs. typing a quick impersonal-looking note and pressing 'Send'.

    The ability to think for ourselves vs. what other people tell us to think.

    The ability for our children to use their imaginations (Whatever happened to white paper, crayons, construction paper, scissors, play-doh, and glue? -- Not just for school, but at home, too!) vs. others imagining for them (CGI & TV, a curse & a blessing).

    Sadly, board games. Sure, they're still making them, but when's the last time you heard of family night where everyone stayed home to play a board game. If it's not electronic or hooked up to the TV, it's usually relegated to a shelf.

    Although not really obsolete, incandescent bulbs are more widely being replaced by flourescent fixtures in homes.
    Email is almost starting to become obsolete, its all about the INSTANT messages now.
    Rubber ball mice -> laser/wireless
    Personal cheques -> plastic
    my cell phone (or almost any other that DOESNT have a camera)
    alkaine batteries, nickle-cadium batteries
    audio CDs...

    the list goes on...and thats only a few years gap...

    Rotary phones, but my grandma’s still holding out cuz she doesn’t want to pay the extra $2/month for touchtone service!

    Corded phones in general are disappearing, though I personally would never be without one in our home. Emergency preparedness, and all that.
