It is definitely spring in our area but the weather has been strange.
One day Miss Fuzzi and I are out pulling weeds. Kittens make such good garden helpers. See how she is stalking those weeds (okay, so maybe it's a moth or perhaps one of those invisible things that cats like to chase).
Taking time out for a few photos. It was a gorgeous day.
And the next day, the sleet came down. Thank you Mother Nature.It's Thursday! That means it's time for Thursday Two Questions.
The other day I saw a headline in our local newspaper, it said "Voice Mail going the way of the horse & buggy." The article explained that voice mail is rapidly being replaced by text messaging. I can't recall the last time I sent or received a voice mail.
1) Do you ever use voice mail?
2) What other current technology do you expect to see decline or disappear in the next few years?

Miss Fuzzi is the prettiest garden help I've ever seen.
1. Will if voice mail disappears
Mom will just have to send MORE emails
2. Radios in every home could be the next thing to go...that is if all the iPods I see growing out of people's ears is an indication....
Great questions.
Madi and Mom
when i was in the workforce, voice mail was a very large part of my job, now retired, no use for it. good luck texting me because we don't own a cell phone other than a throw away phone that rides int eh truck for emergency use only. email is my thing now and it is up all the time, i hear it when it comes in and run to see who it is.
i am thinking computers as we know them now will be a thing of the past, as things like Ipad become more an more communications. the new ones will be when you answer you see the person and just talk, maybe even a wrist unit that will do that.
I use voice mail on my cell, since I don't like to have text messages on it. I use my iPod (and soon my new iPad2) as well as my computer for email.
I'm wondering if people will read less and less hard copy and more and more on electronic readers.
i love sweet kitties - and in the garden? perfect!
i still use an answering machine on my home phone (to screen calls) so that's technically voice mail. and i never text. send me an email if you want to type.
watches are definitely going away.
That's a cute name for a cat.
No, I don't have voice mail.
I don't know. I don't keep up technology like I need to.
What a cutie!!! Love the picture of her helping.
My students and kids tell me e-mail is for old people.
Sigh....
What a cute kitty! We've had awful weather since we've been back in IL the last two weeks....cold, rainy, and windy. I have voice mail on my cell phone....still use it. Don't text too much!
Your header of the dogwood is gorgeous, Judy.
I dislike voice mail with a passion, and I don't even want to bother going to retrieve it, unless I know it's from JoJo's school or doctor.
I think home phone is on its way out. Not too many people I know carrying a home phone anymore.
I see that your weather is as strange as ours here in Detroit. Gorgeous photos.
We use answerphone, email, texts, voicemail - sometimes we even see each other to speak to!!
I use voice mail, but have never texted because I don't know how. But people still text me anyway. Disappearing technology? Phone booths, land line phones, adding machines. Sleet? Well, our state has been declared a state of emergency today and the National Guard has been sent in. We never went to bed last night, but are fine. And the bad weather season has just begun. I've had enough of spring, I want winter back!!!
1) Only on my cell phone.
2) I think in a few years no one will use land lines for anything but internet use.
My husband thinks everything will go audio and people won't e-mail/text...but I doubt it. Why? You can't listed to a message under the table, and some people, like me, enjoy to write more than speak. So many people have issues about talking on the phone...I can't see them wanting to give up e-mail for audio messaging.
1. Answering machines are my take on voice mail. I hate using phones to leave messages. I much prefer email, where people can retrieve and respond to my messages at their own leisure.
2. I don't text, don't know how.
Your helper kitty is so sweet. I'd like to have a helper like that.
I don't text much, but I use it more than voicemail. Nobody bothers to retrieve voicemail messages anymore.
1) that is an interesting question. I don't use voice mail with my family or close friends. I text them. I bet you are right, it might just overtime disappear. Although, I believe that it is still useful- especially when you have the option to read the voice mail such as the feature I have on my HTC EVO.
2)I think faxing is a bit repetitious and not efficient, scanning and sending the same document is so much more efficient in storage, and space.
Little kitty is adorable and I would love to have her as a helper :)
1. I have voice mail on my cell phone but don't really like it at all.
2. Hmmm, I don't know really, technology evolves so quickly. Now you can do almost everything with a cell phone. It only it could do laundry :D
I think I used voice mail the first time I had my mobile phone 13 years ago but that year they introduced text (SMS) for free and nobody used voice mails after that.
I think the fax machine has already been replaced by multi-tasked printers that scan, print and sends data.
We are dinosaurs. I have an inexpensive answering machine with a very scary pseudo-voice on my home phone. My husband has voicemail on his office phone. I hate texting. I also hated "text" becoming a verb. I don't have voicemail or texting on my cellular phone, and it is usually turned off when I'm home.
However, I love your cat. What a darling companion!

We have a lot of those invisible things kitties chase inside and outside our house...they really seem to show up on the inside at night...thousands of them!!!
Many phones this day will show miss called, so I have no need to check my voice mail at all.
I think GPS will be in a decline sine smart phones come with this service also.
1) I use voice mail for businesses. Texting is for friends.
2) Some desktop PC's will be replaced by mobile devices.
And Miss Fuzzi is cute!
Its nice to have a gardening friend to enjoy a beautiful day with.
Mother Nature has a great sense of humor.. doesn't she Judy :)
Happy weekend to you and yours.
Hugs,
Pam
I use voicemail at home, but not on my cell phone.
2. I think DVD will go out soon too.
aloha :)

Oh that cute Miss Fuzzi!
I wouldn't even venture a guess as to what is going to happen. People are now saying that email is too slow...
Miss Fuzzi is ADORABLE!
I do use voicemail - especially when I get busy and don't have time to chat...voicemail saves the day! :)
I'm going to go with Madi that radios will probably be extinct next, since you can listen to music on just about everything else. :)

The weather sure has been strange, but hopefully that will all change now as we get deeper into spring.
I had to come back to see what others say about your questions. I have to say, a lot of these are true. Radios, CDs, VCRs and clocks are just sitting there collecting dust. I still use my land line phone for a lot of the business calls when I have a long wait.
I cut my land line at least a year ago in an effort to make ends meet and I do use voice mail. I have to as the cell is off all day while I am at work. We would get fired if they caught us with it on. I am not very good about retrieving them though. :-)
