Apple got rid of USB and SD Card ports

What is Apple thinking with the new Mac? No USB or SD Card ports? People still have cameras and Thumb drives that need these?

USB Ports in new MacBook Air? I have an 9 year old MacBook Air, and am contemplating upgrade. (Currently, the computer shuts down if not connected to power when the battery gets down to 96%) When I look at the new Air, I see only 2 thunderbolt ports and a headphone jack. Currently, I am using one USB port to connect to my Internet using an adapter, and one USB port to connect my mouse. I also have an external monitor plugged in to the computer. Also, I frequently load an SD card to download my photos, and it appears there is no SD card slot. How would I connect all these devices to the new "improved" computer without all the USB ports & the SD card slot?

You'll have to ask Apple. We're all end users here like yourself. There are Thunderbolt docks that have additional ports, including memory card slot. Look at OWC (MacSales.com).
