Why do we need yearbooks?

This is the cover of this year’s yearbook.
I”m not saying that yearbooks are bad – they preserve memories and all.
They probably would’ve been pretty nice for people in the ’70s and ’80s, where many people leave your school, and contact with your friends is limited.
But in an age of text messaging, Facebook, and e-mail, what’s the real purpose of yearbooks?
In a school where return rate, especially for juniors (which I am), is literally 100%, it seems as if, for me, yearbooks are now obsolete.
As seniors, they would be nice to have, with senior pages and all.
But as I look around in my classes, in lunch, those yearbooks aren’t just worth paying 50,000 won ($39) for.
Not anymore.
