7 office gadgets headed for the graveyard - Slide Show - MarketWatch: "NEW YORK (MarketWatch) —

1. The Rolodex is first up on a list of office tools that may soon become obsolete. Invented in 1956, this rotating filing system for business contacts remained a fixture on most office desks well into the computer age. But some 58% of the 7,000 professionals surveyed by LinkedIn say the devices will likely be seen only on exhibit at the Smithsonian within the next five years. "

2. Fax machines: The demise of the fax has been predicted for years, but these office workhorses may finally be put out to pasture, according to 71% of those surveyed. Indeed, they are No. 2 on LinkedIn’s soon-to-be-extinct list. Some of those who regard their paper-eating ways as environmentally unsound have even filmed themselves smashing their faxes to make their point.

3. Desktop phones: Now that email and instant messaging have rendered most phone conversations unnecessary, 35% of professionals say the desktop telephone will soon be merely decorative. This may not be as far-fetched as it sounds, especially if home phones are anything to go by. Only a decade ago, 97% of American homes had a land-line, compared with just 74% of homes today, according to a study by Pew Research.

4. Tape recorders: When Mark Spoonauer, editor-in-chief at LaptopMag.com, wants to record an interview, he uses the record function on his iPhone. Smartphones are already replacing digital recorders. It’s no wonder that some 79% of those surveyed by LinkedIn say tape recorders will soon be obsolete.

5. USB thumb drives: Around 17% of professionals in the LinkedIn survey say USB thumb drives — the successor to the floppy disc, Zip drive and re-writable CD — will fall out of favor within the next five years. But Mark Spoonauer, editor-in-chief at LaptopMag.com, says they will probably be obsolete even before then. In addition to becoming unnecessary, the devices — which are typically plugged into many different computers — are increasingly being blamed for the spread of computer viruses, he says.

6. Business cards: Why carry around decks of business cards when social networking makes faster — and stickier — connections? LinkedIn says 15% of those surveyed expect business cards to become obsolete. Apps like CardMunch now allow people to hand out an endless supply of digital business cards.

7. The office cubicle: Call it corporate glasnost. Nearly 20% of those surveyed say management will tear down the walls of cubicles and replace them with open-plan work-spaces  But while such layouts may foster teamwork and brainstorming, a recent survey by the Berkeley Center for the Built Environment says people are more sensitive to noise in open-plan offices.

The FAX: " ... to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

YOU ARE BEING PUT ON NOTICE

 HERE IS YOUR PINK SLIP!

 AFTER REVIEWING RECENT VOTING RECORDS, WE HAVE FOUND IT NECESSARY TO DOWNSIZE GOVERNMENT.

 Your superiors have reviewed all the hired hands in the Senate and the House of Representatives. Our review discovered many of our elected employees operating outside of their job descriptions and without authorization.

During the interview throughout the last election all job candidates promised to perform in accordance with their employer’s written instructions, also known as the U.S. Constitution. However, it has become painfully apparent that your terms of employment were never followed and your job performance is at an all time low.

 Furthermore, it has been brought to the attention of your employer that you have engaged in flagrant violations of the Peoples instructions (aka the U.S. Constitution). Reference employer’s handbook: Articles 1 through 7 and Amendments 1 through 27.

Upper management has little choice but to take appropriate actions by un-electing, otherwise known as termination of employment, of those who refused to follow the employer’s instructions in 2010 and 2012. LIST OF FLAGRANT VIOLATIONS  [X] - Voting for National Health-Care against the will of your employer. These actions alone could bankrupt your employer.

[X] - Voting for Cap and Trade against the expressed wishes and direct instructions of your employer.
[X] - Endorsing dangerous security practices by promoting unguarded and unprotected borders, thereby jeopardizing Employer's livelihood, personal security and the continuation of domestic tranquility.
[X] - Creating a dangerous American work environment by funding Wall Street Fat Cats and Mortgage Moguls while ignoring America's largest employer, small business.
[X] - Restricting firearm sales, thereby increasing the risk of loss by the employer. The employer has given explicit instructions regarding firearms, yet direct violation of the Second Amendment "Right To Bear Arms" have been witnessed.

For Violations - Please reference, employer’s handbook. (U.S.C. September 17th 1787)

If you have been involved in any of these violations of the employer’s handbook (U.S. Constitution) or willfully ignored the expressed wishes of your employer, the People, then your services are no longer needed and you will be unelected in 2010, and others in 2012.

Definition of terms: Un-Election means: "You can KISS WASHINGTON GOODBYE, and We The People will send you home to Mama."

RECONSIDERATION: However, because of the great and gracious history of your Employer, We The People are willing to reconsider your previous actions if it is witnessed your attitude improves and you labor on behalf of your employer’ best interest, show an honest effort to reverse the damage done by yourself and fellow employees and not be in violation of the We The People’s Handbook, the U.S. Constitution.

 Signed:
Your Name
Address Here

Correspondence: Please write and inform me of your intentions. We The People will review every employee's performance and review each on a case-by-case basis. Authority: U.S.C. - Bill Of Rights: Amendment 1: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
