Obsolete?

Take a look at what this writer says will be obsolete in 5 years.

I take exception with most of them. I don't think e-readers will be gone. They will evolve, as the Nook is doing with the fabulous Nook Color that is a cheaper version of an iPad. I don't quite grasp the fondness for touch screens on phones and computer devices. Sure they are fun, but they are super annoying to use.

Oh and really? GPS? The only way that will be obsolete is if the whole software thing goes belly up. Personally I can't stand any of them.

I can see Netbooks going, because well...isn't that what the iPads etc are supposed to replace, though lord knows, they cost an arm and a leg more.

Some people think everything will be done on the smartphones.

Uh no thank you.

I like my smartphone, but I don't plan on doing much reading on it. Apps like that suck the battery life from the best gadget, and I don't have vision insurance for when the Kindle and Nook apps kill what is left of my eyesight.

So which of the 5 do you think will disappear?

This Makes No Sense

When I was filling out the paperwork for my car the other day they told me that because I live in PA there wouldn't be a penalty if I paid off my loan early. I asked this because I like to pay more on my debt whenever I have the money. It makes sense.

What doesn't make sense is that any financial institution would penalize you for paying off your debt in a shorter term than originally stated.

WTF is up with that?

That's kind of wrong.

In a day and age when more people are defaulting on loans everyone should be happy to get things paid off.

Penalties for paying off a loan early.

That's just nuts!
