Dinosaurs, Movies That Aren't Sequels and Land Lines

What are three things that are, or soon will be extinct.

First phone booths, then the phone book, and now land lines.  Wisconsin and Indiana are the two latest states that no longer require phone companies to provide everyone land line service and a handful of other states are considering it.

Supporters say it’s for the better because it’ll allow more investments in better technology rather and increase competition. Some worry that rural areas that don’t get the best cell phone coverage will be socked with higher costs.

That news made me think.  First about how people will always need a mattress to sleep on, so at least I'll always have a job.

Second, about phone booths.  When is the last time you saw a phone booth.  When's the last time you actually used a phone booth?  What if Superman were to show up today?  Where would he change?

I guess he would have to duck into a Starbucks or a cell phone retail store.  Those are everywhere!
