From the June AARP Bulletin "Vanishing" by Betsy Towner.
These are fixtures of everyday life due to go the way of the gramaphone according to futurists.
SNAIL MAIL-- Done in by electronic correspondence, but what do you expect when they keep raising the price of stamps, even with those wonderful "Forever" stamps.
HOME PHONES-- Land-lines being dropped for cell phones. Eventually cell phones will go too as people talk on mini-computers the size of cell phones. Don't you just hate seeing folks who always have that cell phone plastered to their ears and then there are the really silly looking ear phones.
PHYSICAL MEDIA-- That would be CDs, DVDs, Blu-Rays, thumb drives (whatever that is), newspapers and magazines and many others. Everything will be brought directly from the internet.
GASOLINE PUMPS-- Your car will drive itself to a recharge station to charge the battery or fill up with hydrogen. Of course, do expect the GRBs to price it out real high.
BUSINESS CARDS-- Electronic cards will be sent
More to Come. --Cooter
