With the introduction of smart phones, the iPad and other electronic devices equipped with digital calendars, are wall calendars becoming obsolete? Will wall calendars become passé like payphones and film cameras?
This reminds us of a similar debate in the 1990s when mobile phones first appeared on the scene. Watches no longer were necessities as people could tell time on their mobile phone, and many predicted that watches would soon become a nostalgic relic. A decade later, it is clear that watches have survived the digital revolution as people still continue to wear timepieces. The clock hasn’t run out on Cartier, they’re still in business because people still love to wear watches–and the same goes for calendars!
Here is our top ten list of why wall calendars are still needed:
- Many people still prefer wall calendars as the medium to look at dates and upcoming holidays.
- Wall calendars are an affordable way to spruce up the home or office.
- With thousands of available titles to choose from, hanging a wall calendar is a form of self expression.
- Wall calendars make great gifts.
- Mom and family planning calendars provide an extra large grid which is ideal for keeping track of appointments for the whole family.
- Digital calendars don’t come with pockets to store loose bills, receipts, invites or greeting cards.
- Digital calendars can’t be placed in a common area for everyone’s reference.
- You can’t put stickers on a digital calendar.
- Wall calendars will never run out of battery.
- A virus won’t destroy your wall calendar and delete all your important meetings and dates
