1. Checkbooks will be replaced by cell phones sending payments to the vendor directly or to the bank.
2. Some people use their cell phone in leiu of a land line.
3. Books replaced by kindle, etc.
4. Music replaced by i-pods and thumb drives.
5. Television by the internet broadcasts.
6. Post Office replaced by faxes?
Some things have been improved upon but some things are too much trouble.
If this is progress, then I will stay an old fogey and do thing the old fashioned way, write checks, use the post office and the library for books, watch television and listen to tapes or cd's.
