• Ironically I had a huge pile of papers of bank statements that had to be either filed or shredding today at work. The shredding pile was over two feet high, the filing less than an inch :P

• Actually you are incorrect about paper. Paper use has actually increased over the years (a proven fact). Give it to humans for liking tangible things. But it shouldn't be surpising, people still light candles even though we have light bulbs.

• Damn right, with the advent of the on-line dictionary and spell-check programs you would think incorrect spelling would be obsolete.

• Yeah, and let's not forget proper grammar too. It's now acceptable to make up words!

• I'd argue abacuses and rotary phones were obsolete a while back, but good answer. ;)

• OK, I'll give you the abacus, but the rotary phone I'm sticking with. I'm originally from a small town in northern Michigan and I bet you can find a few still in use up there.

• I have an abacus (I have a degree in math). When I worked as a kernel programmer at a high tech company I used to keep it on top of my main monitor, with a Post-It that said "for emergency use only".

• Aren't you looking at this with, forgive me for saying so, a rather blinkered view if you only consider that part of the world you live in?
  I would suggest that some nations in this world are getting wealthier thus creating a middle class where perhaps it never existed.
