Sarah

Where does the time go, eh fellow kool kidz? It seems like just yesterday that we were spending all of our evenings hunched over a CD player making mix-tapes for our best friends in primary school…

Now these young’uns are probs just sharing a Spotify playlist. 

A survey commissioned by British Airways looked at how technology has changed how we live our everyday lives, with some tasks now pretty much obsolete. If you haven’t stopped doing these things already than chances are you will soon. 

We feel ancient.

Top 25 things we miss but no longer do due to technology:

1. Making mix-tapes 

2. Put photos into albums 

3. Recording films and TV shows using VHS 

4. Having printed photos around the house 

5. The excitement of having photographs developed before you can see them 

6. Handwritten letters 

7. Sending love letters 

8. Sending post-cards 

9. Having pen friends 

10. Buying CDs / having a CD collection 

11. Using public telephones 

12. Using a telephone directory 

13. Carrying a portable CD player 

14. Going into the travel agents to research a holiday 

15. Buying disposable cameras 

16. Turning to a hard copy of the Yellow Pages 

17. Playing traditional board games or cards 

18. Owning an encyclopedia 

19. Dialing directory enquiries
