PokerPacker Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 These aren't going anywhere. Those Wii/Kinnect games are fun to play, but as long as there are hardcore games being made (Call of Duty, Madden, Halo, ANY FIGHTING GAME) We will need those game controllers. Why'd you bring the Wii into this? It's got a controller :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWFLSkins Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I'll add some more:- Stand-alone GPS devices - iPods - Game controllers - CDs I think your additions are right there with the ones on it, good job. Cursive writing though an art more than a technology is already on the endangered list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IONTOP Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I think your additions are right there with the ones on it, good job. Cursive writing though an art more than a technology is already on the endangered list. They should just call it the "Signature writing" because that's all it's used for... And even then, it's some ****ization of it. Mine evolved from "nice" to "D---d with a dot over one and "GL_____r" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWFLSkins Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 2) Porn tends to play a HUGE role in the development of electronic entertainment...basically speaking, the reason DVDs took off is because of the benefits that watching porn on DVD offered as compared to VHS. For a long time it was thought that DVDs would be little more than a fad, especially because sales were so slow. Well, until the porn industry started putting their movies out on discs instead of tape lol... Now...imagine having that technology I mentioned above--where some lightweight gloves can allow you to interact with what you see on the screen in an extremely realistic way... Yeah, exactly lol... :rotflmao: Now imagine your wife looks like Jenna Jameson and your hanging like John Holmes (in their primes btw, it's a choice) How would that work out for the old lady, lol.

Kosher Ham Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Wired Home Internet - Agreed. Dedicated Cameras and Camcorders - Besides the serious ones, agreed. Landline Phones - Haven't had one myself in nearly ten years. Slow-Booting Computers - Agreed Windowed Operating Systems - Agreed Hard Drives - Agreed Movie Theaters - Agreed, it's a dying business now. The Mouse - For the most part agreed, I am thinking the mouse as it is currently known. 3D Glasses - Agreed Remote Controls - Again as we know them now. Desktops - I don't see that happening anytime soon. Phone Numbers - I think they mean as far as actually dialing. I can call a business now with my phone by saying the name and just pushing call. Prime-time Television - Ehh...Depends on how fast they push to showing over the internet. Fax Machines - Should have died 10 years ago. Optical Discs - Agreed, I've been saying this for a few years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 When I say "game controllers", I mean those units you hold in your hands, press A or B or some combo, move this lever, press this switch...that stuff. I have zero doubt that what we use as game controllers now will be history 15 years down the road.We already have software that allows you to "physically" interact with things on the monitor, where you actually feel the item, its textures, its weight, its substance...you just put on some light gloves and start picking up and moving items on the screen. Actually this was like 10 years ago lol..."game controllers" may still exist, but they will not be anything like this anymore: http://www.isharegifts.com/images/Dingoo-A330-F-16-Wirelss-Game-Controller-1.jpg I guess where I can see where you are coming from, but I can't imagine playing Madden and NBA2K without a controller....

Darth Tater Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Land lines are the only one I completely agree with. Everything else is either optimistic or just plain stupid. Slow booting computers will never go away. Why? Kind of like the microwave cooks too slow. As long as the boot up time is greater than 0 seconds, boot up will be slow, at least eventually.

Sticksboi05 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 There is no way with the profits made that movie theaters die out in 15 years. Yes, people have Netflix, doesn't mean they don't still go out to see new movies. Guarantee movie theaters are a norm in 2025. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, people have Netflix, doesn't mean they don't still go out to see new movies. Guarantee movie theaters are a norm in 2025. They don't make nearly as much as you might think. Most of the space is rented, then add on the bills. A lot of profits are made through the popcorn and such...that people don't buy as often. If you can buy a big screen 3D tv for a reasonable price, and download a movie in minutes...why go to a theater ? I rarely go to the movies now. I have several big TVs and the movies are a ripoff. I get every movie channel at home and generally don't see the need to go out to see most of them. The movie industry is moving towards allowing you to watch at home for a nominal price. Theaters will be nostalgic like say a drive-in theater. If it cost me only 10 bucks to go to a movie, I would go much more than once or twice per year. Noy yalking about the filthy dollar movie theaters either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiggosMohawk Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Dedicated Cameras and Camcorders - high end cameras will remain. the aperture on your phone is just not big enough to rival a standalone camera Slow-Booting Computers - as long as Microsoft is building the OS, it will be slow Hard Drives - i'm hoping this comes true, but i could still see solid state drives over 1TB being more than a decade away for the average consumer Fax Machines - as long as physical signatures are needed on documents, the fax machine will live on One I thought of - manual transmissions. Just like landlines, some people will keep using them because of need or personal preference... but the vast majority will have moved on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently, most people I know use a combination of their scanner and remote printing services or email. Scanned and archived documents already have legal standing in most states.

Botched Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 People line up at theaters when a classic film is re-released, even if they already have it on DVD and have seen it 50 times. Movie theaters aren't going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger187126 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Disagree. As long as boot time is greater than 0, people will still be complaining about slow boot ups well even now you can get "instant-on" computers that recover from sleep mode with an SSD nearly instantly. that's what he's referring to, that there won't be mechanical drives and battery life will improve so we don't have to power cycle our computers, they can just be always on.

"Instant on" machines aren't instant. So, even if its "nearly" instant, people will still complain just like people, even among those my age or older, complain that the microwave is too slow.

amm0409 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 i dont think they will have T.V's. or computers of today. Also keyboards I think T.V's and computers will be projections on Glass and or your phone will be A.K.A your "time warner box" Theres already infrared keyboards that project on any surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
