Are phonebooks obsolete today?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) March 15th, 2012

Because of the internet and the ability to just about locate anyone, anywhere and maybe their phone number….are phonebooks obsolete today? I have used a 2004 telephone book as a door stop for many years. Surely, this is money and paper that could be used for better purposes. Not all people have cellphones, so requesting a phone book would be a better choice, from an economical standpoint, rather than for them in be thrown into a dumpster.
