Out Of Date Items

[Digging4Truth]

I was thinking the other day about things that are no longer relevant because times have changed.

1. There was a joke in a joke book in the library when I was a kid that asked if it was 9pm and you set your alarm for 10am how long would it be until the alarm went off. The answer was 1 hour... because the clock doesn't know the difference between am & pm.

Well... that one is out of date.

2. In the video store you would see the sign "Be Kind - Rewind". I would imagine that there are still some video stores out there with VHS tapes but they are few and far between.

So... for the most part... that sign is out of date.


Can you think of any other signs, statements, jokes or anything else that time and progress have made irrelevant?

Between your post and tbpew's post one word comes to mind.

Revival.

Today revival is a series of services with a very exciting speaker who yells and spits in the microphone.

Revival... is to revive something.

If we could revive in the church the mindset of the three things tbpew and yourself have mentioned I believe it might be said of Christianity once again... they turned their world upside down.

Having a filmstrip arrive in the mail with lots of interesting home missionary stories.

LOL... I remember that big clunky projector and that little roll of single clips... usually accompanied with a cassette to play along with the film strip with a BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP when it was time to change to the next picture.

How about songbooks... they are quickly becoming a thing of the past.

I work at a school and the lower (elementary) school building still uses these from time to time. LOL

There are also a few 8mm projectors hidden in some corners.

....there might even be an old turntable or two.

I type this as I sit in my office waiting for a mini-DVD which was just taken from a students camcorder is slowly transcoding to a format that MS Movie Maker can understand.
