Obsolete Too Soon
Thoughts on this modern life
Oct 14, 2019
Do you ever feel like as soon as you buy or learn something, it’s already obsolete?
My VCR programming skills are totally going to waste.
What good is learning to wedge some wadded-up gum wrappers under an 8-track tape so it won’t play two tracks at once when you can’t buy 8-tracks anymore?
I hardly ever write code in Basic now.
Map folding classes were a complete waste of time.
My Disco moves, like my leisure suits, are collecting dust in my closet.
My white-out is all dried up.
I never use my Pacman pattern anymore.
Does anyone want to buy an adding machine?
Perhaps it’s me that’s obsolete?
