The Extinction Timeline 1950-2050


Richard Dawson from What's Next (www.nowandnext.com) created the Extinction Timeline with his predictions of what products and services will disappear in the next 50 years. Also available as a PDF here. Here are a few highlights:
  • 2018 DVDs
  • 2019 Libraries
  • 2025 Desktop computers
  • 2030 Reality TV (why so long?!?)
  • 2037 Glaciers
  • 2049 Physical Newspapers

  2. I caught that too. Many entries are very tongue-in-cheek.
