Web Secret #337: Things I don't do anymore

A few months ago, I read an article written by a man who bragged about the fact that, thanks to smart phones, tablets, and other similar innovations, he no longer used pens - for anything. I believe he even said his home was "pen free."

I got irrationally upset. The mere idea that pens could disappear from the face of the Earth was distressing. Fortunately, I remembered a post I had written in 2011, which cited: "there is no species of technology that have ever gone globally extinct on this planet."

You see, I am a walking contradiction. I love technology, but I am obsessed with pens, and mechanical watches. I have eyed the soon-to-be-available Apple Watch with extreme concern and suspicion.

I still like to do the NY Times crossword puzzle in the paper - with a fountain pen.

No matter what, I rely on the fact, that each morning will find me sitting at a table, pen uncapped, attacking that day's puzzle. I don't ever want to lose that.

But I have to admit, there are many things I not only don't do anymore, but I will never, ever, do again. An infographic reminded me that:

I no longer advertise in newspapers - I use Craig's List

I no longer call a travel agent - I use Kayak

I no longer buy tickets for events over the phone - I visit StubHub

I no longer need a pay phone - I carry a device that allows me to communicate instantly

I no longer print photos - I store them in Dropbox

I no longer own a dictionary - I visit dictionary.com

I no longer watch TV shows at the time they are shown - I stream them at my convenience on Netflix or Hulu

I no longer remember phone numbers - I find someone's name on my smart phone's contact list and I press it to dial their number.

What do you no longer do?
