Legal Obsolescence: Say Goodbye to These Items in the Legal World

By Bruce Carton

ADVERTISEMENTS

New York magazine had an interesting list of things that were once everyday, common items, but are now all but obsolete. Their list (via this post on Consumerist.com), and my comments, are as follows: 1. Answering machines (haven't seen one in 5 years) 2. Lickable stamps (haven't licked one in 5 years) 3. Foldable road maps (still have a couple, sorry) 4. Cathode ray tube TVs (have several littering my home) 5. Incandescent light bulbs (huh? I have many of these in my home) 6. Paying for pornography (ummmm ...) 7. Smoking in bars and restaurants (good riddance) 8. Fax machines (these relics have not gone away in the legal world, hopefully they are on their last leg) 9. Hydrox cookies (Oreos rule) 10. Cassette tapes (Ha. Those barely made it into the 90s, let alone the 00s) 11. The French franc, and every other former currency in the Euro zone (It's all about the Euros, baby) 12. Floppy disks (now used only for drink coasters and in bad movies) 13. Phone books (one just arrived in my mailbox, so too early to declare these dead) 14. Polaroid photos (way dead) 15. Bank deposit slips (still alive in my bank)...
