sage Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 What once common items (not brand names) have you outlived and what do you think will be obsolete within your lifetime? Some things are rare like terracing I remember having a black and white tv as a very young child and having an old portable in my room in the 80's. But they haven't been available to buy in years and must be practically extinct I expect telephone boxes to disappear in my lifetime. They were always a great place to hang out as a kid when the weather was crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
