When “old & the same” Still Works Best

On the “new & improved!” spectrum, I probably fall somewhere in the middle between fuddy duddy and trailblazer… okay, maybe not in the middle. But for a person of my generation, I think I’m reasonably aware of the latest innovation.
However I have to admit, while some gizmos, apps, and trends (like heated car seats, weather widgets, and tall black boots) are truly fantastic…  for me, many of these beloved old standbys can never be replaced:

 

The Radio (have the same one as I did on my teenage bureau)

Maps (sure I use GPS, but only after consulting a “real” map first)

Plain Coffee (please no latte flavor or java shot of the month)









Pocket Change (yes, I will make you wait while I dig through my coins)

Calendars (with ‘feel-good’ themes like Black Labs or Cottages of Ireland )

 

So, in your opinion, what else needs no improvement?
