      Telephone books.
      There's still a pay telephone at the gas station next door to me. They definitely are pretty rare though.

        They were bulky, heavy and big BUT useful for listing the numbers to businesses. Google is awful at listing phone numbers for businesses.

          It's good to still have them around in case your phone needs to be charged

                        Everyone walking around with their cellphones like zombies lost in their own little pointless worlds. Nah, that's not for the better. We've become slaves to our gadgets.
                        I miss reaching into my pocket for a dime (and later a quarter) to use a pay phone. When I was wandering the backroads of America in the 90s, I knew that I could always call home if there was a pay phone around. You didn't have to charge them or always carry them with you (and worry about losing them) or pay for a monthly plan. Fuck that ****!

                              TV too. Used to be able to watch TV without a monthly bill. All you needed was an antenna.

                                  I miss phone booths (telephone boxes).
                                  A lot of times I don't want to pay for mobile phone service.
                                  Another thing obsolete are land lines. Everything is VOIP so you need an Internet connection. Blah!
