Watches: Maybe as quaint jewelry, but the correct time is on your smartphone, which is pretty much always in your hand. I don't know about anyone else, but, I like wearing a watch. When I need to know what time it is and look at my watch, I don't get distracted. When I need to know what time it is and look at my phone, I wind up playing Angry Birds for 10 minutes. And it feels slightly less rude to glance at my watch during a meeting than it does to pull out my phone to look at the time. Still rude, but, slightly less so. One picture to a frame ... There's something comforting about having that one family photo on the shelf, where if you need a break, you can just look over for a minute and see everyone. You know whats there - you picked it! Commercial music radio: Smartphones with music-streaming programs like Pandora are a better solution that doesn't include ads screaming between every song. I pay for Sirius radio. Sure, I could listen to Pandora or Last.fm, but, sometimes its nice to have a DJ ramble about some band and how they used to be so much better or whatever. I like it when they'll interrupt a string of popular songs and play something different just because they felt like it. I can't be alone in that feeling.
