-Calling -CDs -Landline Phones -Fax Machines -Wires -Hand-written letters I can ensure you these things will be in some form or the other, remain with us until 2020. For one I can't see all forms of communication being carried over written means, calling will always be there, whether it be a voice call or video call. I honestly can't see landline phones being obsolete. CDs have reigned for the past 20 years or so now, and will continue to do so. Having a "hard copy" is always preferred to a digital "erasable" copy Faxes - at my office I send and receive more faxes than emails. It's preffered in an office surrounding. Whether or not wires will become obsolete is debateable, personal electronics will go wireless for sure (on the data transmission side), but the charging I don't know. Hand Written letters - Professional letters will always be typed, personal letters will always be hand written, it's just so much more personal that way. just my 2 cents |
DVD -> Blu-Ray still watch DVD, go to rogers/BB, DVD selections still out numbers Blu ray by at least 10:1, even on new releases LAN -> Wi-Fi still prefer wired connection over wifi when playing games, I want absouletly no interference Wired keyboard/mouse -> Wireless keyboard/mouse still use wired k/m, same reason why I prefer wired network over wireless HDD -> SSD this is none sense, SSD size not big enough nor cheap enough 3dfx -> nVidia/ATI this happened before year 2000 LOL Blockbuster -> Netflix Netflix is still too slow |
I cringe at the thought of future obsoletion of DVD's. :( I just realized that when they remastered Fight Club for Blu Ray, that I'd have to buy a second copy for my collection. That and among many other films in my collection. |
While I champion certain advancements, I weep for the future when we finally become 1 dimensional, emotionless drones. Seems in our lifetime, anything is disposable or replaceable now. Old school at heart. |
David Wallace: I'll fax over some of the things we're looking for, ok? Michael Scott: Fax? Why don't you just send it over on a dinosaur? David Wallace: Look, this is important, Michael. Michael Scott: Oh. Well then email it, David. Copy paste, but that shit was hilarious. |

I just had to throw out 40+ porn tapes I knew I would never watch again. They're not worth anything to anyone else. I don't even own a VCR anymore. I basically had no choice. So, so sad. :cry::cry::cry: |
wtf....none of the stuffs on the list "became obsoleted" in the last decade They are good candidates for things that will become obsolete in this decade tho. |

Every generation has it's nay-sayers to technological (and thusly productivity) advancements that often render humans (and their emotions) useless. As Mark Twain said "I'm all for progress; it's change that I don't like." Fact of the matter is, all this obsoletion is for the better and not worse. |

Even 3.5 inch floppies are still in use. Every Esso gas station does there backups on floppies and thier POS uses a Intel PIII. 2.0 Stereo is not even close to obsolete because music is still recoded in 2.0 and people still build 2.0 stereo systems also can't forget all the MP3 players sthat are 2.0 stereo. |

Honestly, 2 decades ago they said that this decade will be paperless but it seems like we're using more paper than before. Hmmm Lol |
i still rock the sony sports walkman at work as its the only device i have that gets AM radio so i can listen to canuck games, blazer games, and sportstalk with dan russel. i will also dust off some of my old cassettes and listen to them. the tapes i made that recorded the radio are the best cause they have ads and news so you can get an idea of when the tape was made. i even have one from 9/11 that is really interesting. at work i get funny looks for using that thing. its 13 years old and still works like new, even after i had some batteries explode in it. all my more modern electronic devices seem to have a manufactured obsolesence so the thing dies or has major issues shortly after the warranty expires. but not that walkman, its 13 years old and still works like new, even after i had some batteries explode in it and several hard drops. |
I personally prefer physical media. Like CDs because I like to look at the album work and physically flip through it. I think things you consider obsolete last decade will still be around for a while. Just that it will be more expensive. I still own 6 VCRs at home. Some of them are brought back from Malaysia 2 decades ago. Same with my 30" CRT Set :lol Still works like it's new. Mind you I have blu ray dvds and LCD tvs too. I still own an Atari 2600 too!
