Phone Booths 1878-2011 Before phones were pocket-sized supercomputers, people had to stop if they wanted to make calls on the go. The places they stopped to make those calls were called phone booths. Once a familiar sight, phone booths — like the landlines and phone books contained within — were dealt a mortal blow by the arrival of cell phones. Just 100,000 pay phones remain compared to 2 million in 1999. Are there any phone booths left in your area?

Phone Books 1878-2012 In 2007, Bill Gates predicted that "Yellow Page usage among people, say, below 50, will drop to zero — near zero — over the next five years." More than a decade later, the 20th century relic refuses to die, with bound white and yellow paper directories of business and residential phone numbers still showing up on doorsteps across the country. But while they are still being produced, how often are they actually used in the era of smartphones and Google? Their biggest users, however, appear to be YouTubers attempting to tear them apart in video stunts. Do you use a phone book?

Highway Maps 1890s-2013 The first road maps appeared at the dawn of the automotive era to help drivers of "horseless carriages" navigate the few horrendous roads that existed. Around a century later, GPS became available to the masses, which eventually led many states to reduce print runs or even stop printing the traditional American highway map altogether. Do you use paper maps?

Car Ashtrays 1926-1994 One of the earliest ashtrays ever to be built into a car was found in the 1926 Rolls Royce Phantom limousine. Smokers continued to ash their cigarettes in on-board ashtrays for decades to come, while nonsmokers filled them with coins, garage door openers, and whatever didn't fit in the glove compartment. By 1994, however, smoking was out of vogue and Chrysler became the first automaker to offer ashtrays only as an option. Do you miss ashtrays in cars?

8-Track Technology 1950s-1982 8-track players emerged in the 1950s, and revolutionized how people listened to music while in the car. On September 15, 1965, Ford became the first auto maker to offer 8 track players in all their autos in the US. Most drivers accepted the device and during just that first year, around 65,000 8-track players were installed in Ford vehicles. Because of its simplicity and small size, the 8-track was the first extensively available tape system that was used around the entire country. Did you ever use an 8 track?
