6 Technologies That Will Be Extinct In 10 Years
The development of technology continues to be pursued rapidly to help human work. Therefore, any innovations will displace technology that is no longer relevant.
A small example is the use of pagers that are no longer used and replaced by mobile phones to communicate with others.
Therefore, some technologies that we still use today. Some are already predicted to no longer be useful in the next 10 years. Here is the list, as reported by Business Insider, as follows :
1. USB Driver
With the development of integrated cloud storage technology online. It seems that the physical presence of the USB Driver is no longer necessary to store data or move data. Many current generation computers don't even include USB-A ports.
2. Physical Credit Card
The use of physical credit cards to transact still exists today. But as smartphone-based digital payments increase, perhaps in the future we only need to carry a mobile phone instead of bothering to carry a plastic credit card.
3. Physical buttons on your phone
As we know many smartphone manufacturers today have switched from QWERTY physical buttons to touchscreens and various other sensors in their products. The physical button on the phone is also predicted to be very powerful to be extinct shortly.
4. Charger cable
The emergence of wireless or Bluetooth charging technology adopted in various devices today began to reduce the need for wireless charging. Therefore, in the next 10 years, it is likely that devices that are still charging through the charger affixed to the wall will feel strange.
5. Alarm clock
In many places such as hotel lodgings, it is quite rare we encounter the use of physical alarm clocks. Especially with the advancement of smartphones that already have the same capabilities, i.e. being able to wake people up in the morning, is more practical to use than the physical form of an alarm clock.
6. CD or DVD
With the advent of movie and music streaming services digitally can replace the use of CDs and DVDs. Many online applications and services that we can use without the need for a physical presence to watch movies or simply listen to music. Later CDs or DVDs will only become collectibles and are no longer a priority.
