CONTEST: What is obsolete in your life?
Today, we experience more change in one year than previous generations experienced in their lifetimes. Sitcoms from ten years ago look as if they might as well have been made in the 1700s. See the size of the cordless phones Ross is using? How were they able to make so many storylines that revolved around answering machine bloopers? Just think about all those disastrous blind dates that Jerry and George could’ve avoided if only they could’ve looked each other up on Facebook first…
Our lives are packed with ideas, objects, and habits that likely won’t exist for very much longer. What is obsolete—or on the brink of obsolescence—in your life? Every day for the next ten days (now through September 21), I’ll be accepting submissions to this website: photos, videos, short essays, audio clips, etc. Each day, the best submissions will be featured on the site; each day’s winning entrant will receive a free signed copy of OBSOLETE.
To enter, please email me your submission to ObsoleteTheBook@gmail.com or use the form here. Make sure to include your email address so that I can contact you if you win.
But wait! There’s more! If you are a TUMBLR or FACEBOOK or TWITTER user and you reblog or mention this post, you will receive a little token of my appreciation. For free! Via mail! Old school, right? All you have to do is email me a link to the reblogged post, or a screen shot, and your mailing address.
