Things we don't need in 2022 like we did 10 years ago

[kylie122]

Just a Sunday thought remembering how we used to get phone top ups

Still have a land line.
Still buy books.
Only have Sky.
Still got my CD’s and vinyl.

People who said they didn't have DVDs in 2010- but Nerflix and Prime only became a thing circa 2015.

Picking up our own takeaways.

I still use cash and my debit card.
I will never pay with my phone after having money stolen with my contactless card. My cards are not contactless now.

I still have a DVD player, I bought a new one recently as ours was very old. Some things are not on any TV platform or there at vast expense to stream and a DVD is a couple of quid from eBay

I think I do/use all these except vinyl.

Never had Sky TV.

Oh no! Do you mind if I ask how that happened?

I'm never sure if I should cover the contactless bit...I have heard some say it's a myth that money can be nicked that way.

Yellow pages

Scheduled tv programmes.

Newspapers. I used always buy the Sunday paper. I just don't feel the need now as there is always so much to read online already.

London A-Z big book

I still have one in my car , I don't uuse SatNav

Used to read the Sunday paper and Sunday magazine, haven’t brought a paper since News of the World folded

Disposable cameras

Legs. We now have Ocado, Amazon and Deliveroo.

Change for bus fares.

Disposable camera.
Newspaper (although my mum still buys one).
Cheque book.
Even popping to the shop seems to be dying out.

Stationery and even printer ink.
I can't remember the last time I had to print something!
Also cheques! I remember my 20 odd Yr old DD finding an old one and asking me what it was

Bebo and MySpace... MSN Messenger!

ADSL broadband, most people can get fibre of some description now

Oyster card

I imagine that a huge percentage of satellite dishes are now redundant. Including the one on the side of my house which needs taking down but I forget that it's there.

I basically don't leave the house except to go food shopping, and even that is optional.

I can switch my dishwasher on via my mobile phone and check what's in the fridge via my phone.

I think what I'm basically saying is that my legs have become unnecessary

The high street

@YourVagesty

We got a new dish put up when we got Sky Q last year!

Blockbusters and video rental had already gone ten years ago surely? I had my eldest in 2012 and I can’t remember them being around then.

I used CDs and DVDs up until a couple of years ago.

Blockbusters finally went in 2014

Ahh yes, for children definitely still required and much loved.
