Hi Folks
Was listening to the radio this morning and there was a segment called " You know you are old when...."
This caller rang up and said that her kids stared her dumbfounded when she asked them to turn down the "wireless" when she was on the phone.
They could not understand how you could turn down their wireless broadband.
This got me thinking about all those things (technology, occupations etc) that have become obsolete just in my lifetime, such as:
1. Telex machines
2. Typewriters
3. Polaroid Cameras
4. VCR's
and some occupations
1. Telephone switchboard operator
2. Telex operators
3. Tea ladies
So I thought I'd start this thread (apologies if one already exists) and see what other jobs and technology have become obsolete in our collective lifetimes.
