7. Smartphones
Today, it's hard to imagine that we used to do without smartphones. It's even harder to imagine them disappearing, too. This may not happen, but the development of devices that can displace smartphones from our lives is already underway. For example, Facebook is working on augmented reality glasses. It is supposed that the device will show information on a small display, receive calls, and conduct live broadcasts in social networks. According to Mark Zuckerberg, such a device will make tablet sources of information unnecessary.
8. Wires
Here is the disappearance of what we are all happy about together, it is wires, because the confusion of cords irritates any person. Wireless charging technology already exists and is constantly being improved. And IKEA company has implemented this innovation in the furniture industry, offering customers a line of Home Smart products. All items of furniture included in this series are equipped with wireless charging panels. Simply put your smartphone on the table to start charging.
9. Gasoline engines
Given the trend towards environmental friendliness, it is not surprising that gasoline engines will sooner or later become obsolete, and conventional sources of energy will be replaced by renewable ones - wind and solar. So far, their introduction is hampered by the cost of alternative technologies, but, of course, sooner or later it will happen. So, in Australia solar panels on roofs are very popular - more than 2 million devices are installed.
10. Mechanical locks
The concept of a smart home is no longer something unattainable, the only thing that keeps it from spreading is the financial issue. The same can be said about mechanical locks. In the long run, they will be replaced by blockers that can be opened by fingerprint or by some other biometric or electronic method.
11. Compact discs
In fact, CDs have long been hopelessly outdated, giving way to flash drives. But any drives, in turn, are candidates for take-off, as all information will be stored on cloud services in the future.
12. Paper media
Gradually, the print versions of newspapers and magazines are being phased out - they are being replaced by online publications. Paper maps will also soon become a rarity thanks to applications such as Google Maps. The same applies to various paper documents, as the introduction of digital signatures and electronic document management will soon make them redundant.
