I buy CDs all the time. I bought one last week. We are in the process of converting our VHS tapes into mpegs to watch on our computer so I'm using a VCR pretty frequently. After that, never again. The other three? Been years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I was just getting ready to post something that is sort of on the same page. When was the last time you had a long conversation on the telephone with some other than a family member. I'm talking spouse, g/f or somebody you could be interested in. In this day and age of texting, Facebook IM's and emails, I would gather a very large % of the population has lost the art of communication.

In this day and age of texting, Facebook IM's and emails, I would gather a very large % of the population has lost the art of communication. I've NEVER had long conversations with anyone other than family members or women I was interested in. I don't like people. Edit: Oops, I take that back, about an hour ago I had a 50 minute phone call with someone from AT&T (alas, most of that time I was on hold).

Azazello1313 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) 1 - used a floppy disc (or even saw someone using one for that matter)? I have to do this a few times a year with work, getting at old data. 2 - bought a music CD? yesterday. ordered on amazon. I generally prefer buying CDs over digital-only. you can rip the whole damn thing yourself in a couple minutes, and you've got a higher quality physical backup should you ever need it, plus the album artwork and liner notes. last time I bought one in a store though....hmm, probably a couple years ago 3 - sent film in to be developed (ie cameras, remember?) man, I don't even remember. probably at least 15 years ago. 4 - bought a TV less than 32"? hmm let's see, I bought a 32" LCD a little over a year ago. and I bought a 32" CRT in 2003. so I guess this goes back to the 27" tube....woulda been 1996. 5 - used a VCR? do this a few times a year as well Edited February 1, 2012 by Azazello1313 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
