chaosmachine Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I was thinking just now, as I stared out the window at some newspaper boxes, that some things I've seen all my life will eventually just disappear. Like cigarette machines or restaurant-brand ashtrays... As tablet and e-ink devices approach disposable price levels, it seems inevitable we'll just stop seeing these one day: And further down the line, as battery and solar technology advances, perhaps these will disappear, as well... What else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenGOD Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 The gas stations will morph into battery charging stations. Cigarettes - I dunno. People love to smoke. Oh my bad just realized you wrote restaurant-brand ashtrays. lol - I remember when the McDonald's across the street from my high school had those ashtrays you posted. I also remember smoking in the McDonald's across the street from my high school. Newspapers definitely disappear - sooner the better. Those Metro and 24 hour newspapers that they give out for free are gross. I'm thinking that desktop computers in their current form factor will disappear sometime.

Guest disparaissant Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 paddles and automatics will replace them, i think. i just don't see these having the same nostalgic effect that tapes and vinyl have. i think optical media in general is going to disappear eventually.
