@256 Pamela Paul wrote a very good book in 2021 called 100 Things We've Lost to the Internet. It's a little more introspective than this graphic.

@256 Anyone who works for a law firm or doctor's office knows that #4 and #2 are still very much a thing. Faxing a patient's medical records, or even burning it to a CD and mailing it, is still considered more secure than e-mail.
