Because sometimes I actually do spend time reading Yahoo News and I actually do feel intelligent because I didn't spend an hour on facebook....

I found this article and it just made me feel.....for lack of a better word, OLD!

Read the article for an indepth explanation, but these are the 10 things NOT to waste your time with in 2010:

1)DVD's
2)Home Television Service
3) External Hard Drives
4) Any phone besides the iphone or Blackberry
5) Compact Digital Camera
6) Newspaper subscription
7) CDs
8) New College Textbooks
9)Gas guzzling vehicles
10)Energy "Inefficient" Home anythings

Seriously? This all makes sense if you check out the website, but DVD's? They say they will soon be replaced by uploads on computers or other hardware devices. okay....but I still have some VHS tapes that I'm holding onto... In fact, we just bought a new DVD/VHS combo for our bedroom. External Hard Drives are out? I never even bought one to be in! I still have the Motorola Flip Phone, I still read the newspaper, I LOVE CD's don't care what they say. I have upgraded to the Canon Digital Rebel Camera and I wish that New College Textbooks would have been "out" six years ago when I was paying a couple hundred bucks a piece for one. I drive an SUV, but it's a Toyota, and they (Toyota, not SUVs) are currently taking over the market, so I'm in and out there. And I have made the switch to those funky looking lightbulbs that only glow for the first few minutes after you turn them on, so I guess I'm on the right path to being "IN" with energy.
