9 Things That Disappeared So Fast Nobody Even Noticed
(KMDL-FM) The ebb and flow that is life. It’s what keeps us on our toes. That’s why every day it’s a good idea to take inventory of the things around you that matter and the things around you that you won’t miss when they are gone.
Today we’re focusing on the things that are gone and, for the most part, forgotten. But the purpose of this narrative is to illustrate just how important they once were to all of us.
Can You Believe Some of These Items Used to Cause Arguments?
As you peruse our list, you know there are at least one or two that could have and probably did result in physical violence or at least terse words. No, we’re not trying to dredge up unpopular feelings, but those “things” were a part of our daily life once upon a time.
Why Did These Things Disappear? What Happened?
Another aspect of this list that you will probably recognize is just how popular so many of the entries were and how non-existent they have become today. I think that’s a great lesson in self-importance. Self-importance only matters to the “self” who thinks he’s important.
The rest of us are just marking time heading forward to our eventual date with destiny or until another list like this comes out in five or ten years, and we revisit all the things we thought were so important but have faded tremendously through the lens of passing time.

Perhaps the most intriguing part of this list and this study in general is this: do you remember when the item in question went away? For some of the items, it has only been a few years, or it's still around but not nearly as common as it once was.
Some of the other items have just completely gone by the wayside, and in more than a few cases, there was no explanation given as to why we suddenly stopped seeing them or stopped paying attention to them.
