When was the last time you used a phone book? I haven't used one for years, yet twice a year (at least), I get one or two delivered to my house. It is a ridiculous amount of paper, lots of ink, and it does nothing but get recycled. Most everyone I know no longer uses a phone book, because of the internet.

Someone asked me, "but what do you do when the power goes out?" Simple, use the internet on my cell phone, or use my cell phone to call someone who does have the internet. What if you don't have a cell phone? Get one, Luddite.

Your thoughts? Do you use phone books? I think this is a dead industry.
