[SIGCIS-Members] Telegram service ending soon - have any other info technologies actually died?

[Christian Sandvig]

This question is the topic of the dead media project (
http://www.deadmedia.org/), which is itself dead.

My favorite nominations:

The Myriorama.  Once you have a motion picture, a motorized three-mile-long
panoramic painting on rollers (shown while a performer narrates and plays
the piano) fails to draw a crowd. Although actually now that I think of it
I would pay to see a myriorama today.

The Telephonic Newspaper (e.g.,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telefon_H%C3%ADrmond%C3%B3).
