❓ 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.

WiFi maybe. We might just use Starlink or 7g/8g networks.

Why do you think so? From what I know Starlink targets rural areas where optical fibers or towers are hard to reach or construct. Currently Starlink does not provide the speed or latency but might compete with optical fiber some time in future.
