I was actually thinking about this last night... Not only do I think dial-up Internet is an obsolete technology, I think once all the baby boomers die off, phone land-lines will all die off entirely. They're like 100% completely obsolete now. After the boomers die off there'll be no more people too poor to have cell phone service (unless maybe they're so poor they're living out of their car or worse) because they can have their phone, Internet, and TV all in that one device. There's no need for cable TV, there's no need for PC's, there's no need for land lines for actual phone service, and there's no need for land-lines for cheap Internet service. It would be much cheaper to have all that in a cell phone.
