card-catalog-cards: AKQJ.10
Card catalogs used to be all over libraries, and then
index cards became obsolete.
Now the cards from card catalogs are used as scraps of
paper, for people to write on the backs.
What will happen when libraries run out of old cards?
[sorry, out
of
cards]
People will write on modern, commercially-printed index
cards. It won't be the same, though.
Or maybe people will start writing on the backs of business
cards, which will be obsolete soon.
The one thing I hope doesn't become obsolete is writing
things by hand.
