AIM Away Messages
Like, I know AOL Instant Messenger was mentioned here already, as well as how it's morphed into Facebook chat and its contemporaries - but the one element that there's no equivalent for is the Away Message.
By gosh, I penned some from AIM Away Messages in my time.

By gosh, I penned some from AIM Away Messages in my time. They sort of exist in the space of work email and do not disturb text responses. Was surprised when I emailed a dude and got a novel back the other day.

Where I live (South Wales), the majority of phone boxes have been converted into Defibrillator stations, even in tiny villages, which seems as good a use as any for them. That's a really great idea! I wish they did that here in the U.S. It would probably save a lot of lives. Especially since the U.S. is an obese country. And mailboxes? Yeah, those are still around. Maybe not as many, but they're definitely still around and in use.

do any companies exists like the ones that used to offers CDs (or videos when I was young) for a really low price on sign up like 6 for 99p/99c?
Columbia House was an American company that did it I believe

By gosh, I penned some from AIM Away Messages in my time. I was an ICP fan back then, and I remember making an away message something along the lines of "going to find a two liter to stick in my buttcheeks" in reference to one of their songs. My grandma got so f***ing pissed.

At least from my experience, notebooks. Obviously some people still take notes, but in my four years of college (graduated fairly recently), almost everyone used a laptop to take notes.

Do Paperboys still exist? The people who deliver papers in my town just drive around in a car.

With all this phone talk, I should ad collect calling. It was insane over how much ad money was spent on that. Unless you're Dave Meltzer

That's like the exact opposite of my current experience at my classes almost everyone uses notebooks still. Only like 1 or 2 people use laptops.

Also, "nerd" used as an insult. I do it every day, people give surprisingly negative reactions still. I have a bunch of Magic the Gathering playing, manga reading, video gaming, tarot card reading, MCU watching, pokemon catching them all co-workers. Nerd is my go-to insult.
