25 Years of Change

USA Today has a list of things we've said goodbye to in the last 25 years. I'll add a few for my own:

• The floppy disk: Both the 5.25 and 3.5 inch varieties. man the 3.5 inch floppy seemed high tech with it's little sliding metal door.
• Real sugar in our food: Bow to your corn based overlord.
• Phones with chords: When it got to twisted you let it dangle and unspin.
• Joysticks: Remember when all it took was one button to play a video game? Now you need an airplane cockpit to play Super Mario.
• Answering machines: Pick up some of those little tapes while you're at the store.
• The Mc DLT: The hot side was hot and the cool side was cool. How did the McRib manage to survive?

Now I'm going to put on my Carnac hat and predict what we'll be saying goodbye to in the near future:

• CDs and DVDs: The future is in bits not atoms
• Wires: just about everything from headphones to your external hard drive will come sans wire some day
• The internal combustion engine: Probably not in my lifetime
• President Bush: Now I get why term limits are so important

What things do you miss that we've said goodbye to? Leave a comment. No parachute pants because those suckers are totally coming back soon.
