that article is fucked, alot of things mentioned in that article is not OBSOLETE.
probably half the population still has a land line phone, people who collect cds will continue to collect cds from their favorite singer.

-Calling
Email and text for mass communication, info and pics. For person to person interaction I prefer to use the phone or talk face to face
-CDs
I still burn music, pics and movies on occasion. Usually to give to friends.
-Landline Phones
Same as calling.
-Fax Machines
Still use for work.
-Wires
TV, home entertainment, car audio, tons of stuff. Wires won't be obsolete.
-Hand-written letters
I still, on the rare occasion, write letters to friend's, my GF, etc.. I'm not talking about far away friends either. It's more personal and heartfelt.

I barely use the things on the list or use it in a different form.
-Classifieds in Newspaper (craigslist)
-Dial Up Internet (obsolete)
-Encyclopedias (wikipedia)
-CDs (virtual iso's, dont really need to burn them to keep a copy now with so much hdd space, music = mp3s)
-Landline Phones (skype)
-Film and Film Cameras (dslr)
-Yellow Pages and Address Books (on the internet)
-Catalogs (what is this? lol.)
-Fax Machines (ive used it less then 10times in my lifetime so far. usually scan.)
-Wires (i think it will always be used)
-Hand-written letters (sometimes, but mostly emails.)

These ones are definitely obsolete:
-Dial Up Internet (dont think anyone uses this anymore)
-Yellow Pages and Address Books (only good for interrogations  )
-Hand-written letters (type-writers replaced this long time ago)

Landlines are still used, and are still useful for many, including my family.

Typewriters, vinyl records and 8 tracks are all obsolete but you can still get them, in fact you can still get them brand new. However something better is available.
