So, in your opinion, what do you think will be the next device to bite the bullet. I think it will be the DvD, replaced by Bluray...intime, if not then something. Maybe with all the downloadable movie sites coming up will replace them. Download the movie instantly to your TIVO or something.
Next to die!!!!!!!

I think as more and more devices emulate each other in terms of audio, video playback, internet access, communications, etc, the line between game console, cell phone, PC, will vanish as every unit essentially does everything with different sizes and slightly different capabilities in each field (cell phones will stay small and not be able to play as complex games, but will get graphics uogrades).
I don't think DVD will die soon.
BitTorrent, NetFlix, and legal downloadable movies will replace most of the demand for movie rental stores. They will stay open for videophiles as a high-end market (don't want to download SUPARHIGHDEFCONTENT) simultaneously with old people that don't understand movie downloading, but eventually decline and die out.

Next to die is I think... hmmm.... I think we've already killed off the weak, blind and stupid in modern devices...
Yeah, nothing else gonna die.

regular TV for that HD-TV stuff. all station in OZ are advisting there HD vertions like theres nothing else
I know, it's crap. I was watching TV up late and heard a show I likes coming up. "Oh goody" then the TV finishes what it was saying... "Only on HD!" "DAMNIT!" "But stay tuned for we have crappy reality TV for the normal channel." Do they hate us for not upgrading our TV's?Knight Templar said:
The next to die will be people who put more than a sane number of excalamation marks on anything they type.
Seriously. Any more than one exclamation mark used in an unironic context is a sure sign that the author needs one of those special coats where the sleeves meet around the back.

Anyway, I don't think really essential home devices (such as the examples given: Home telephone and FM radio) will be changed. Too many people still use them and they are supported by small-time corporations which simply would not recover if the nation was asked for an entire digital switchover.
Besides, the older generation have almost zero percent knowledge of the alternatives to home telephone. I'm not saying that all old people don't know about Skype, mobiles etc., it's just that a lot of them are seriously, purposely, ignorant.
Monitors will slowly merge with tvs, until the day comes when computers sit in fron tof the tv with the the game consoles that look just like it but arent upgradable because they make more money by selling in generations.
PS. Its called a Straight Jacket, but I'm unsure of the spelling.
PPS. I will never use a cell phone because they can be used to invade privacy easily, and are often used to do so. I will resist anything I can that leads to the privacy free future you so often see in science fiction. Onstar must die!

If playing guitar hero has proved anything to me, it is that 5 buttons is as good as 6 strings. Say bye bye guitars, hello guitar simulators.
I'm waiting for the book thing to die. Im pretty sure in the next couple of decades schoolbooks will be swapped for palm pilot type things with ultra low resolution so the text wont be so hard on the eyes. I mean seriously, I love books but their clumsy, can be heavy, with so many highly cumbersome and losable. Seems practical to, I sure wouldn't mind just re downloading my textbook from my school profile rather than fork over 50 bucks for a lost textbook. It'll totally be missed tho like I miss CD's. Something about having to comb over my friends cd case with all the cd designs was just colorful and cool. Now yay, we have a calculator for music. And yay, soon it will be the same for books im sure >.<
