What is the phenomenon known as the 'retirement curse,' and how to avoid it

Society has a strange relationship with growing older, loaded with false expectations and somewhat backward logic.

Furniture that has disappeared in the modern era

You might not have given this fact much thought, but as technology and our lifestyles evolve, so does the need for certain furniture. For example, telephone tables were built with a specific, practical function in mind, which is no longer necessary with our smartphones of today.
