What Technology do you think will be obsolete/near dead by 2030

[staticshock]

Thats probably why, the south has always been a bit behind technology. In the South they still use horse drawn carriages and telegrams.

but y’all have Amish communities in the north


And folks in here really saying printers will be obsolete?

Cell phones as we know it are going to change. Probably going to be something you wear instead of a brick that you hold today. Smart watch sales have gone up over the past few years.

I think about all of those old sci fi movies with people typing into their arm piece....

Not to be presumptuous but that's thinking, tha only kind of person that would think of a phone as something to wear I'd imagine is tha type of dude to be out and about wearing a bluetooth earpiece.

Gamers will keep them alive. The market is niche, but fanatical.

I'll throw in pure internal combustion engines. All new cars will be hybrid or electric.

Traditional landlines are pretty much dead. Everything is voip nowadays.

Back in the day you had phone boxes on the side of your house which were called voiceports. They were wired to either a telephone pole or junction box somewhere in your neighborhood. Thus if your house lost power, your hardwired ttelephone would still work. Not a cordless (uses electricity from the wall jack).

Nowadays home land line services are voip powered by a modem, just like your internet. And in most cases they have a backup battery in case of power failure. It's a "home phone" but it's not the same. You'd have to understand the differences between analog dialers and digital dialers which is an entirely different topic.

Nah mom's actually got the traditional landline

Yeah, my mom owns a daycare, companies like that MUST have a traditional landline by law, can’t use VOIP cause landline is so much more reliable.

Nah, video games make more than movies and music combined. Ain't no way that's going away. Your PHONE is a damn gaming console.

Game consoles, not video games. Gaming will move to the cloud and use a subscription model. Google "stadia". This is where gaming is headed because it's much more profitable.

That depends on how well and widespread 5G is. Cuz Stadia is right now.

Gas Car start to be forced out aggressively.

Physical copies of games
Full frame DSLRs
Cable television - iptv going to take over
Physical keys
Desktop pcs
Non touch screen monitors
Non dual sim phones

I think even these will be irrelevant in cars by the end of the decade. Everything will be done between voice & HUD
