From the analog age ...
Does anyone still own an address book?

I mean an old school one, made of paper. One, where you write down the addresses and telephone numbers of your friends. One that you update regularly?

I cleaned out two drawers of a desk last night (less stuff resolution, remember?) and found two address books and noticed that I haven't updated or used them in ages. All the addresses I need now are stored on my phone, computer and external harddrives for backup. So, after checking the addresses, I threw these two out.

Address books are prettier than a bunch of data of course, but I really don't see what I'd need one for. Most contact is digital nowadays, I write a couple of cards for Christmas and birthdays, send a few parcels ... but that's about it on the analog side of communication.

I didn't even update my address book when everyone was still using one. I'm really bad at this sort of thing.

I wasn't very good either. I did add new addresses but forgot to scratch out the old ones.
