Time- With the speed of innovation in the tech industry, we can’t know every piece of technology that will fill our everyday lives in five years, but we can predict what won’t last. As smartphones begin to render low-end cameras obsolete and Netflix continues to upend the DVD and Blu-ray market, it’s clear the technology landscape will look dramatically different in the near future.
The OnePlus Watch 2 is touted for having incredible battery life for a Wear OS watch, and that saved me when I forgot the charger on a trip.
Vision Pro is here and it’s a surprisingly capable device. Apple has also loaded the headset with a ton of options and features that aren’t obvious at first glance.

I still remember when we used dial up connection for using internet services. But it's time to say good bye to it.

I agree with DVDs demise, (Blu-Ray has gaming consoles to keep it alive for the next 5 - 10 years) but it's definitely not because of Netflix. Netflix is a solid service, but it lacks a full range of content needed to be a sole video solution. DVD and Blu Ray sales are still good, and while a push for Digital will be coming from companies, it's not going to kill them off. DVD is going to die simply because it's storage size is no longer viable for the medium. 4k content will be too large for a DVD, and compressing the image is counterproductive, so it's days are numbered. Blu Ray is going to live and thrive somewhat because of this, as long as they can drop the prices of disc, and players to DVD levels in the coming year(s). The death of disc based media comes when internet Bandwidth is fast enough to stream instantly and "DOWNLOAD" HD content in mere minutes (5GB file in less than 5 minutes aka 100/50 Mbps standard), and HDD sizes increase and price decreases (below $0.05 per GB).
GPS is done. Smart Phones have taken over.
Dial-Up. I though this was already dead.
Digital Camera. Again Smart Phones have taken over, only SLR's and such have any viability for novice.
Car Keys. I guess, it's not a make or break. Keyless entry, remote start, etc... are decent features for your car, but not deal breakers for most. A phase out of normal keys would go unnoticed by most.
LOL, streaming replacing Discs.
They could but they won't. I will never try to rely on streaming services to keep contracts for shows and movies that I like and neither will the movie/TV producers.
GPS units aren't going anywhere. Concentration will shift to companies rather than consumers, but they aren't going anywhere.
There is no way dial up will be gone in just 5 years, too many people rely on it and AOL still makes a lot of money each year from the service.
Of course, this article seems to be focused completely on America like it's the only country in the world.
