Shoelaces in the 21st Century

Why do they still use shoelaces? It is so middle-ages!

- We have velcro.
- We have rubber.
- We have all new hi-tech materials.

Shoelaces?! Come on! Why do they still make shoes with shoelaces? I vowed not to buy another pair of shoes with shoelaces ever in my life. I call upon you to join me. The world must move forward. We must leave the past behind.

Same goes for stick-shift. When I go in the car, I want to go forward or backwards, fast or slow. It's the 21st century. Why do they still make stick-shift cars?

Shirt buttons, ties (were ties invented to hide the shirt buttons? how did the idea of a tie come up?).

I'm compiling a list of things the world should have gotten rid of long ago. I'd appreciate your thoughts and ideas.

And for those who insist here is a way to make things faster.

I can't think of anything ... I'll get back to you.

You are right, I can't remember last time I bought shoelaces.

Packaging usually annoys me, like the paper-box around the tooth-paste tube.

lizze, you're right. The paperbox around the toothpaste is annoying. Not to mention the damage to the environment. Some day I'll write something about the waste of resources in our planet.
