as technology continues to progress many
of the creations inventions and
developments we’ve come to know and love
seem to be slowly fading away welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten things
that will become obsolete in the near
future when all these little pieces of
muscle are layered together we get
exactly the same thing we started with
beef for this list we’re looking at
those things that we might still use on
a relatively regular basis at the
beginning of the 21st century but that
are likely to soon become obsolete
thanks to advancements in technology
we’re talking about tech that is coming
in the near future though so concepts
that may see the light of day in the
distant future will not be included

number 10 physical data storage media
even as we speak
physical storage media such as blu-ray
DVD CDs vinyl records and memory cards
are already on their way out it’s a
memory card
tell us when was the last time you even
bought a CD that’s a fascinating little
gadget it’s gonna replace CDs soon and
so I’ll have to buy the White Album
again discs are quickly being replaced
with streaming services like Spotify and
Netflix and viewers now have the ability
to buy digital movies directly from
their home entertainment system you know
when you’re watching your favorite
Netflix show and after five straight
episodes it’s like you want to be in it
meanwhile cloud storage companies like
Dropbox are aiming to replace the hard
drive and businesses like Google are
facing out SD card slots on some of
their phones it’s only a matter of time
before they all go the way of the floppy
disk number nine landline telephones
Oh show of hands who actually still has
a landline phone this landline is really
brought together in a great way I miss
this it doesn’t count if you still live
with your parents
of course it was the telecommunications
device of choice before the invention of
the cell phone and it usually sat on a
desk beside a chair or it was attached
to the wall however these days mobile
phones have significantly reduced the
number of landlines as more and more
people are opting out of those contracts
so they can just carry around their cell
instead well many of the people we spoke
with today said there’s really no reason
to have a landline anymore and a lot of
people across the country agree with
them according to data released by the
National Center for Health Statistics as
many as forty one percent of American
households no longer owned a landline
phone in 2013 accounting for well over
100 million people listen why’d you
disconnect the limb the phone broke oh I
don’t need it anymore
number eight paper know what I love
about pen and paper
nobody can hack into this you well at
least mother nature will be happy with
this one
every day we’re finding ourselves
dealing with less and less paper print
media that require paper such as
newspapers books and magazines are all
readily available online either through
websites eBook readers or digital
subscriptions meanwhile paperless
documents such as PDFs are easy to
transfer and bring into our everyday
routines American money is even made
from linen and cotton of course there
will always be enthusiasts who prefer
hard copies but paper as we know it
today will soon be significantly altered
or entirely absent let me tell you a
story about a book that keeps getting
better
with pages that fly without lifting a
finger
number seven over-the-air broadcast for
all of us here at News Center 4 I’m Ron
Burgundy you stay classy San Diego
traditional over-the-air broadcasts will
soon be a thing of the past thanks to an
increasingly digital world apps like
Spotify offer music lovers an
alternative to traditional radio with a
paid subscription eliminating
commercials and allowing listeners to
customize their experience and die
without spots fine I love going to gigs
oh yeah the same the same what same as
what you said traditional over-the-top
television is all but obsolete as well
as more and more television stations
across the United States and Canada
switched their broadcasting to digital
the Government of Canada and the CRTC
have mandated that over-the-air
television transmission must switch from
analog to digital in selected markets by
August 31st 2011 this means that anyone
with an analog TV is Sol while it is
possible to obtain free channels with a
converter box and an antenna many people
are making the switch to digital cable
or just cutting the cord entirely number
6 cords and chargers did my phone as
wireless a computer’s wireless
everything’s wireless yeah speaking of
which cords and chargers are also on
their way out
is anything safe technologies like
Bluetooth and NFC are providing clean
cordless alternatives to tangled wires
and having to hide unsightly scenes yeah
that sounds awesome hold on Oh
rather than plugging your phone into a
device now all you have to do is set up
a Bluetooth speaker and you’re good to
go the wireless age has also brought us
technologies like akia’s wireless
chargers which allow you to juice your
phone simply by laying it down on the
surface these technologies will only
continue to grow so prepare your
goodbyes if you’re attached to physical
devices and cords while it’s exactly and
I can play without all the map command
you can run anywhere onstage with high
number 5 wallets this is an organizer
secretary and a friend keys aren’t the
only things that smartphones are slowly
making obsolete consumers are quickly
giving up traditional payment method
such as cash and plastic credit cards so
wallets may soon be good-for-nothing as
well you got more cow here than here
for example Digital alternatives are
already available on your phone through
mobile payment your fingerprint confirms
your identity and because your card
number is never stored on your device
your personal information is never
transmitted or shared with merchants
multiple studies are predicting that
mobile payments will continue to grow
and the people will turn to mobile
wallets more and more in the near future
it seems like it’s only a matter of time
before we drop the leather and go fully
online it’s safer than a credit card and
keeps your info yours and you can
already use it in over 1 million stores
number 4 glasses am I crazy or does
Jerry not wear glasses you’re not crazy
it does wear glasses you just forgotten
that let’s face it glasses are pretty
annoying hey I can’t see with bathroom
they easily fog up they’re breakable and
they get dirty so often that cleaning
them becomes a pain as such it won’t be
long before they’re replaced by easier
solutions for vision correction so your
eyes can breathe easier with less
irritation and discomfort LASIK or laser
eye surgery is more accessible and
affordable than ever before
there’s the alignment next dr. Tannen
gonna put a little divisive
part if you’re afraid of going under the
laser then contact lenses offer a
popular alternative especially for
athletes as if that weren’t enough a
Canadian company by the name of occu
medics Technology Corp is testing a
bionic lens that can be implanted into
the eye to give humans vision three
times better than 20/20 we’re estimating
somewhere around $3,000 per eye will
likely be the range that they’ll be
charged number three animal or meat
farms cells from one single biopsy of
muscle from one single cow would be able
to produce over 20,000 tons of lab-grown
beef this is perhaps the one thing on
this list that no one will miss as meat
farms and all the controversy that come
with them will cease to be a problem in
the coming years this is because
scientists around the world are quickly
creating entirely lab-grown meat also
varyingly called in vitro cultured or
synthetic meat and experts say that
these will soon be readily available in
2013 professor mark post and his team
unveiled the first entirely lab created
beef burger which was assembled from
cows stem cells that were grown into
muscle strips but the bite you know
feels like a you know a conventional
hamburger this meat as it’s been called
aims to be an affordable moral and
environmentally friendly alternative to
eating the meat of a once living animal
10 you see what’s happening that’s
happening yourself they’re going to kill
us all
number two customer service
representatives and jobs once requiring
human operators have you tried turning
it off and on again as we enter the age
of automation our world is about to be
flipped upside down with the extra money
the factory I decided to modernize
eliminating mr. buckets job we won’t be
interacting with humans anymore but with
machines a machine like a robot
telemarketing is already becoming less
human as the business is slowly
incorporating the use of robo calls or
automated phone calls that use computers
and pre-recorded messages and I just
want to talk to someone and please tell
them to stop calling me but it’s a
machine not unlike how the human
salespeople follow scripts when they try
to sell their products or services
meanwhile customer service reps like
fast food employees are also in dire
straits or they will be as self-serve
kiosks become mainstream and provide us
with a less error filled alternative
McDonald’s says it’s all about giving
customers the power of choice in
addition call support centers will
probably become entirely automated so
we’ve got to ask will you welcome our
new robot overlords before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
mentions you don’t have eyes in the back
of your head but it sure helps to have
one on the back of your car now that’s
the guy I’m playing in this movie get
out of my trailer because this trend
it’s not changing we’re seeing a lot
more people making that jump in going
all digital instead of going for that
traditional cable package number one
privacy
whether security cameras are spying on
us at every street corner or companies
are compiling information about us from
our mobile devices any semblance of
privacy will soon be entirely absent
from our lives the Federal Bureau of
Investigation can now hear everything
you’re saying even when your cell phone
is turned off it appears that some
governments around the world are
becoming more like Big Brother with
their ability to demand phone records
and internet search histories among
other things they’re not an organization
in the sense we know nothing knows it to
get a little bit an idea even your
iPhone can track your every move and
provide startlingly accurate depictions
of where you’ve been and for how long so
what advice do we have about this for
you get used to it they’re watching you
man who is he’s just next time do you
agree with our list what else do you
think will become obsolete in a few
short years for more relevant top 10s
