I love these questions; Bot was a super-duper idea: I guess I can make a short list

1) Belief in God. It is so weird that given how much we know about our world and how data driven (data points to support) our life is that people still think their is a dude with a beard that lives in outerspace.

2) Physical libraries. I love that the still exist but I thought it would be more apt to be downshifted and re-directed books to e-books on file servers and just have a physical footprint for small community gatherings

3) Work in office jobs. I mean if it retails or a food service I get it but a lot of businesses having employess show up to work (not my employerer ) not only downgrades productivity but creates a useless ongoing business expensive for the business

4) Burying dead instead of cremation. I mean, I get that it was a tradition we inherieted from prior to 2000 but I mean how many plots can we have and what is the point to keeping a carcass around for as long as possible?

5) typewriters--or at least a market for them that keeps them in business. I don't have feelings one way or another but interesting it still exists

There are a few very few things that only a typewriter is able to do. Incredible. I still have but don’t use an electric one with separate keys and not the more modern ball. @robertsnj

@jackjjackson maybe I am wrong on that one

Certain carbon or carbonlike forms @robertsnj
@jackjjackson Like what? I still have an old one.

Old typewriters are good for completing carbon paper forms. @EarthlingWise
