Google turned 11 on Monday.  That’s crazy.  I remember when google stock went through the roof!   I remember the internet explosion.  Now google has gone from a noun to a verb.  So it made me think.  I remember when I was a kid having a swatch watch, and it was a big deal.  It’s funny though as times change and the world grows up certain things fade away; Chat rooms, Pay phones, Netscape, Floppy Disks, 411 and many other things.  With cell phones being in the pockets of most breathing human beings, do you still wear a watch or has it just become redundant and obsolete?  The last time you asked what time it was did the other person pull out their cell phone or did they did they check their wrist?

SO, Let’s see…

And what other things have become redundantly obsolete, or have just disappeared over time?

***Update:  The results are in (although you can still take the poll if you haven’t already)  it is as I thought, a bunch of you don’t wear watches at all.  Some of you don’t even own one!  Almost as many of you that own a watch only wear it as a fashion accessory.

Redundancy is a funny thing.  I wonder what will come out next that makes something that seems so normal to us today seem so redundant then!
