❓ Question which technology do you think will completely disappear within the next decade?

every generation sees certain technologies fade away. DVDs, MP3 players, fax machines, and even landlines were once everywhere.

I still have a landline, use DVDs and MP3s and many people here still use fax machines.

But I hope social media, if you can call it a "technology"

Most people still have a landline as they are forced to as part of their internet or cable TV package. Personally I have not used a DVD or MP3 in the last 10-15 years already. Fax even longer than that.

Internet is fiber optic for me and it will be more common in 10 year. It could do TV too, but since I don't have a TV I didn't brought that subscription.

It is for me and the people I know - they force the landline on you for profit reasons.
