Time of the year to reflect on things.   As an early adopter of technology (still have my original MacIntosh from 1984), I'm thinking of the early adopter things I DON'T do anymore:

1. Download and manage podcasts in iTunes - Now I just subscribe and listen to them on Stitcher Radio.
2. Manage my music in iTunes - Now I listen to my music and music I don't own on Spotify, Google Music, Pandora and iHeartradio.
3. Read and manage my RSS feeds through Google Reader - now i use Flipboard, Pulse, and Google Currents.
4. Try to keep up with Twitter - I still will use Hootsuite but find integrating into Flipboard a much better experience.  Same with Facebook and LinkedIn.
5. Try to get my email to Inbox Zero - Impossible! 
6. Search the web for interesting things to read - I let my curators do that for me on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, & Google+ and then read it in Flipboard etc.
7. Read Techcrunch - I get the headlines of all the Techcrunch stories every morning on Stitcher.
8. In my car, plug my iPhone into my factory-installed iPhone adapter in the glove box.  I just plug my iPhone in through an RCA cable so I can still access it (at red lights).
9. Listen to XM/Sirius in the car - See above.  
10. Download music to the car's hard drive - Ditto above.

How about you?
