What 3 things do you think will become obsolete in the next ten years?

Everything in use today, and that will be created for the next 5 years is already obsolete. Oh wait, you meant on the micro level. ;)
- Mechanical Hard disks are sort-of a no brainer. Flash drives are going to be super speedy and very immense. I won't mention computer mouse's, keyboards, displays, and other hardware.
- Regular 2-dimensional television sets. Home entertainment will become much more immersive with 3-D and "Wii" type of interactivity.
- Texting. At least as we know it today. Transcription software is amazing now, and I have used it to create emails and texts with impressive results. Soon, people will learn to think and speak clearly, so these devices won't misinterpret what they say.
I would not be surprised to see a "voice" form of "Twitter" emerging very soon, if a site hasn't already been started.

Nearly everything I thought that I knew about the world we live in three years ago is obsolete. This train of thought leads me to suggest that this entire entry is a significant waste of energy.
Sorry if you've taken the time to read all this, hopefully you will be amused by it.

Ask me anything.
