Hear, hear! Not necessarily these, but let's drag the airlines kicking and screaming into the 21st century...

  In the 21st century we have our boarding passes on our smartphones and when the gate changes, or the flight is delayed, we get an instant update. Yes, I understand that many people don't have smartphones, but that'll be just one more reason to get one. Let's spend our time making the smart phone app even better. Guide us to our gate, connecting flight, baggage pickup, etc.

    Not everyone can afford a smartphone. Nor the expensive data plan that goes with it.

      They probably don't fly that often either. It's probably better to aim for your target audience. Anyway, some smartphones are free on a plan. It's that data plan, which we would hope will drop in price. Personally, I'd like to see WiFi "everywhere" so we can eliminate the data plans.

    Or for an unusual 20th century to the boarding pass problem - don't have one. For a while you could walk aboard your People Express flight and pay after the plane had taken off.
