When I joined my current company, we were all allotted a sum of money for earphones/headphones of our choice, and the majority of people went for AirPods while I got a nice pair of wired overheads. I thought, why bother charging something I will only use when sitting by my computer anyway? The same people who laughed at me had later asked to borrow my headphones for meetings when their pods had connectivity issues or low batteries. No such worries for me!
As an avid reader, I still prefer to hold a physical copy of the book in my hands. Additionally, I take notes faster by hand (and I can also use shorthand) than typing. I agree about the books. Trying to read a book on a Kindle is just not the same. Sure, it's more convenient when you're traveling or trying to read in a light that is not bright, but I still love books, especially from the library, since they are free!
Windows 7. It horrifies people when I tell them, but I'm a Sims 2 girlie, and I've seen too many people who can't get their games to work on newer systems. I'm not risking my 2012 underhood until I absolutely have to.
There is nothing like grabbing the newspaper in the wee hours of the morning and reading it in a quiet house while sipping on a hot cup of coffee. It just reminds me of a simpler time.
My Rolodex is still in use today to keep addresses, phone numbers, business contacts, and every doctor we have ever seen. The phone can be lost, the cloud may disappear, and the computer can crash.
