“Bro…..I’ve got a computer!”
To assist in formulating a scenario to save-the-girl, Mike asks Nick for the Yellow Pages so he can find a pharmacy…….twenty-something Nick responds “Bro…..I’ve got a computer!”
As newspapers and print media continue to loose revenue and lay off employees, they are becoming less and less relative in the descimination of real estate (rental property) information….likewise, many rental prospects rarely ever see the local Yellow Pages much less a local print newspaper unless they are in town and staying in a local hotel/motel. In reality, they have already checked housing listings on Craigslist and national/international housing website like HotPads, Kijiji, etc.
In the Showtime series DEXTER, the feature character, Dexter Morgan, mentions Craigslist twice in one episode as he attempts to find alternative housing for his sister who is cramping his “killer” style while living with him after her fiance is killed (by Dexter).
The Yellow Pages and “home delivery” of your local newspaper will become distant memories for many of us…..they will go the way of many icons of the past……
“Hey, did you know that Paul McCartney was with a group before WINGS?”……
