Why should I walk all the way to the computer to look up a business, when the phone book is right there?  It's Chinese hack-proof technology.

I don't know why you would need to walk all the way to get to a computer either. Nor why a phone book would be in easier reach of you.

Because I don't walk around the house with my cell phone stapled to my hip like the rest of you iLemmings.  And the phone book is next to the phone, on the end table next to where I would be sitting, just like in every sitcom of the 1970s.  Fuck.

Ugh I'm gonna have to move by 2070 when Alaska has Florida like climate.

I don't think Anchorage will up and move to Point Barrow.  :P

Oh just die already. :rolleyes:

Or alternatively - you aren't really as old as you like to pretend to be.

Right next to the TV Guide?  :P

If the selling point for keeping the phone book in the house is that every once in a while you can save yourself from walking 20 feet, that's not very convincing.  :hmm:

Certain practices from 1981 are just as valid and as resilient today.  Like keeping the phone book next to the phone for quick reference, as opposed to looking all over the place for 5 minutes, wondering where I put my cellphone.  :lol:

I'd have more respect if you still used a rotary dial phone.
