Aren’t you tired of always making sure you have the battery juice you need? Aren’t you tired of carrying a charger around looking for an outlet in public places? If the answer to those questions is yes, you’d be happy to hear that chargers are almost out the door too.
It appears that the newest development in the world of mobile is going to be cellphones that charge themselves. It could be done through movement technology, WiFi technology, solar power, or some new form of tech currently in the making.
Digital Cameras
Another piece of technology becoming obsolete thanks to smartphones is the digital camera. Once the best way to preserve your memories from a trip or vacation, now it does nothing more than sitting in that drawer you never open.
Not only can smartphones take great quality pictures, you can also instantly share those pictures with your friends and family, and upload them to a cloud so you never lose them no matter what happens to your cell.
DVDs
Going to Blockbuster to rent a movie is the old times’ Netflix and chill. Now there is little to no content you can’t find online. With streaming services reigning supreme on the watch-at-home industry, there is simply nothing that DVD libraries could offer.
DVD movies can still be found in vintage stores and occasional bookstores. But still, even if you feel a little nostalgic and want to watch a DVD movie, where on earth will you find a DVD player to play it with?
Wallets
You know the little dance you do before leaving the house to make sure you took all the things you need? the one that involves you tapping on all your pockets? Along with your keys (soon to be out the door too) and cellphone, your wallet is usually one of the three main items you need to have on you when you’re going somewhere.
But that’s about to end soon. Now that money transferring is easier than ever before, there are fewer reasons to hold on to cash. There are even fewer reasons to hold on to an item specifically designed for holding cash.
Passwords
You use one password to access your email, another to access your bank account details online, and a third to unlock your work computer. And that’s if you’re lucky. Most of us use more passwords than we can remember. You often need to string together a special character, numbers, and a combination of upper-case and lower-case letters. Good thing this is all about to end.
Similarly to keys, the need for passwords is slowly fading. Now that your mobile phone can be unlocked simply by looking at your face, there is no reason why other gadgets and websites won’t do the same.
