Do you miss any technology that is now behind the times?

Westlaw recently notified its subscribers that Westlaw Classic will be discontinued later this summer. This has been inevitable since the 2010 launch of WestlawNext, Robert Ambrogi wrote this week at LawSites.
“As of August 31, 2015, Westlaw Classic will go the way of New Coke, becoming only a haunting memory among aging associates of legal research past,” Ambrogi wrote. He goes on to share a brief history of Westlaw, first launched 40 years ago.
Ambrogi doesn’t say he will miss Westlaw. But this week, we’d like to ask you: Do you miss any technology that is now behind the times? The fax machine? Pagers? Answering machines? Or Web-based services like Google Reader or MySpace? Did any tech products have virtues that the innovations that replaced them did not preserve?
