Are you an old-school US Postal Service stamp-licking mail type? Or do you prefer the ease with which you can send mail using an email program filled with dandy icons? Or perhaps a little bit of both? That’s you. Classic but current. Retro but hip. Finally, there’s a bag for all your laptop-carrying needs. Or perhaps you need it to carry around all those postcards you’ve been meaning to send for the last twelve years.

Which will be the first to cease existing: mail or desktops? This guy has all his bases covered.
The post office may have seen a 700 percent drop in business in recent years and lick-able stamps may now be antiques, but there’s no shortage of postage-paid mail going to The White House each day and then one man picks out ten letters for the president to read each day. I want that guy’s job! Hell, I bet even the POTUS wants that guy’s job. Can you spot these other obsolete things in this video? A watch. A secretary. Handwriting. Rubber stamps. Sigh.
