We’ve heard the expression many times that “The only thing that doesn’t change is change itself.” That’s certainly true of technology. Sometimes it seems that even before we master usage of a product it becomes obsolete!
In my lifetime I have seen the demise of a mind-boggling number of “modern conveniences.” The wringer washing machine, analog telephones, coal furnaces, the typewriter, Super8/8mm cameras, slide projectors, Betamax, VHS format, the phonograph and vinyl records, both reel-to-reel and cassette tape recorders, transistor radios, and the Walkman - all either evolved or faded into history
What technologies are now considered to be “endangered?” Here’s a partial list from Bloomberg Businessweek

Combustion engines

Consumer video cameras
