Going Going Gone: What the Next Generation Won't Remember

Due to illness this program has been rescheduled for Thursday, March 30 at 1:00pm.

During the past 20 years, we’ve gained Smart Phones, GPSs, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and many other services and devices.

However, we’ve also lost some things that we’ve grown up with. In “Going Going Gone” Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta will take a walk down memory lane and talk about products that are either on their way out the door, or completely obsolete.

Some may surprise you!

Items included are VHS video tapes, phone booths (and making phone calls in general!), travel agents, bookstores, newspapers and classified ads, wristwatches, maps, dial-up internet, encyclopedias, CDs, landline phones, film cameras, yellow pages and address books, and hand-written letters.

Which of these items do you miss?

Also, there is one item that people think is making a comeback, but in reality, it never went away. Can you guess what that is?

Christiano-Mistretta will jolt your memory discussing other stuff we’ve long forgotten about.

Come share your views in this interactive lecture! Audience participation is greatly encouraged! You may also bring your old items for “Show & Tell!”

Registration is required.
