Summary of the obsolete terms from the article,

1. Intranet

2. Extranet

3. Web Surfing – Wow! Better stop using that.

4. Push Technology

5. Application Service Provider (ASP) - Not to confuse with .asp from Microsoft.

6. Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) - Lol! Reminds me of my Palm and HP iPaq.

7. Internet Telephony – OMG! That was my dissertation topic back in 2000.

8. Weblog – Hmm… short lifespan of this term. Blogging and blogger caught on as a more hype term.

9. Thin Client

10. Rboc - Totally beyond my time.

11. Long-Distance Call - Didn’t we just use IDD?

12. World Wide Web - I am not sure it obsolete yet. We just use “www” as part of typing any URL. But good to know what WWW stands for.
