Its interesting how fast technologies rise to the top only to be squashed by the next best thing.  Here are twelve examples...

Ah, the days of pager-code-texting and the Walkman.

Good find Jason.  And the Sony Minidisc ad as an uber-90s-hot girl.  :D

Kinda funny that the beeper talk has morphed into texting.  I consider myself as being pretty hip to the current lingo but this texting stuff is insane!

How about the car phone? Or any console sport games that are more than 2 - 3 years old?

The phrase "information superhighway" is pretty dead.

The Wii rocks!

And Jason - agree!  Texting is the worst abomination and abortion of the English language *ever*.  Drives me nuts to see it, and I refuse to 'txt-spk' when I text.

I'm still in the dark ages with a cell phone that doesn't have surround sound ring tones, mp3 player, 10MP camera, full qwerty keyboard, GPS turn by turn navigation, etc.  Hell I can't even send a text!

Heh, so I guess the next "dead" technology is the cell phone!  They've been replaced with smart phones!

Oh and ditto the Wii.  I absolutely love it!  There is nothing better than getting some game time and some exercize in at the same time.

In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."
