1. Photographic film many of us surely know the popular photographic film where a red turns green and green turns red. With the advent of mobile phones and digital camera, it has been a goodbye for the photographic film. 2.Movie rental stores. This is gradually becoming obselete due to wide usage of the internet. Every Tom, Dick and Harry can afford to download their movie or preferably buy video CDs(18-in-1) for just 100bucks. Thanks to Alaba boys. 3. Maps No more getting lost on those epic road trips... just punch in your destination into your GPS or smartphone and you're good to go. Thanks to google map. 4. Newspaper I will say this one is very strong due to it's slow pace to becoming obsolete. But still, we can't compare the newspaper market currently to how it was about a decade ago. We all know the cause. 5. Public pay phones. It's like ages i saw a public pay phone. Don't really know about you though. 6. Dictionary Can you remember the last time you made use of a hardcopy dictionary? 7. Floppy disk This decade, we said hello to external hard drives and tiny thumb drives.I remember floppy disk was in vogue back then in 2006 during my 1st year in the university. i guess most of us used this. For me in particular, I used it until USB flash later came up and bobos were hanging it round their neck like gold medals 8. Buttons Soon, we'll be saying goodbye to buttons. Welcome to the world of touchscreen. 9. Losing touch Social networks have practically erased the possibility of ever losing touch with anyone. The downside: you can no longer use that as an excuse for never speaking to your creepy first-year roommate again. 10. Papers Probably the biggest casualty of the decade. With most communication now conducted online, magazines and newspapers crumbling, and e-readers increasing in popularity, paper is now on serious life support some will say. On the other hand, i will say: If you think technology will completely replace paper, Then be prepared to wipe your azz with an ipad _________ Add Yours 1 Like |

Soon there will be no more phones. Chips will be connected to our brains and we will communicate thru brain waves also known as telepathy. Get ready to die of brain shock. 3 Likes |
