Old photo's
Anyone still have old photo's of themselves ? Or has the digital age ,my cloud etc removed the need for physical prints ...We can now scan and store everything electronically.
So in 50 years
Money
Books
And much more will become obscure odities much like LP's
8 track tapes
And sending letters through the post...
What do remember from your youth that was cutting edge technology but is now gathering dust in a corner of your storage unit ?

If you collect or sell anything when you aren't busy at work or the gym
What would you treasure.
Looking at them on a computer doesn't evoke a sentimental feeling in me.
It had a neat auto arm reset when the record had finished and it had an amazing 10 record stacker...that dropped the next disc to play on top of the previous one ( which always failed miserably if you piled more than 3 records on it!)
The first record that I bought to play on it was a 45 single.'Night of the Long Grass' by the Troggs...haha
Happy Days!
we have become tech dependent in many ways.
Not sure if I like the idea of a moneyless future,
It has become synonymous with being tracked and monitored
As for the books I still prefer paperbacks over Reading them on a pad or tablet.
But I think that is one thing that sets the divide in our generation gap with our kids and grand kids.
On a shelf in my parents house sit all the old photos and albums,
I personally have none.
I have an old tape cassette player at home somewhere
Also, the obvious point is that a photographic print is not like an LP or 8 track tape. It does not need a device to play back. Same goes for paper books. They can last more than 500 years and need no stupid gizmo to read.
It was a terrific invention, then some years later, the Word processing Typewriter came in where you could back space and delete, and the rest is history.
