Here are eleven more items that I believe will all but disappear within the next decade – some a little more controversial than the previous list:
- The Euro – good idea, but not everyone came to the party with the same idea in mind.
- Gasoline only cars – there will still be a plethora of gasoline only cars left over, but within a decade all new cars will be flex-fuel, hybrid electric, diesel, or electric.
- Paper business cards – instead we will have some type of RFID business cards that can be read by cell phones.
- Paper maps – as a map collector this one makes me sad, but I sure am holding on to the ones I have.
- Printed lodging directories
- Mail boxes – to save money, the post office will require everyone to maintain a post office box instead.
- Super-sized cola drinks – what New York City starts will be followed as obesity costs rise.
- Training wheels – as studies start to show they may hinder learning to ride more than they help, off they will go.
- Three-car or more garages – long overdue as starter castles start reflecting reality. Perhaps a separate bicycle door instead?
- Facebook – keep changing things arbitrarily without telling people ahead of time and it will soon go the way of myspace and digg. Hope you didn’t buy the stock.
- The BCS – this cannot come soon enough. Bring on playoffs.
