Top 10 Things Today’s Kids Will Never Experience

Recently, TIME Magazine published an article called "Top 10 Things Today’s Kids Will Never Experience." 

http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/6jATWI/www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2011482_2011480,00.html

It's a great list to show teens how quickly things are developing and changing.  The list includes:
  • Camera Film
  • Landline Phones
  • Real Books
  • Being Lost
  • Music Videos on MTV
  • Walkmans
  • The Glory Days of Nick at Nite
  • Tan M&Ms
  • Czechoslovakia
  • Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Terminator
Will all of these items be, one day, completely extinct?  I guess time will tell.

Your assignment today is to come up with a list of 5 gadgets and/or ideas that won't be around in the next thirty or so years (when I'm finally old and gray:).  Give reasons why you don't think that item will be around for generations to come.

  38. This is not an answer but more of a reply to lots of peoples lists. This is what i am talking about. The video game consoles. Xbox, PS3. They will not get upgraded. They have the new technology and all that. They will just be adding on "Kinect, Playstation Move" Of course the Wii will get upgraded,but They will not get upgraded. Just look at some of the games they have. "Halo:Reach" "Infamous" "Super Mario Galaxy 2" They can`t upgrade perfect.
