THE LATEST TOP 10 LIST from the INQUIRER's sister site V3.co.uk looks at technologies facing extinction.
Have a look at what our colleagues think will soon be going the way of the Walkman, VCR and green-screen CRT display.
Interestingly, online retailer Pixmania also recently offered its views on 2010's most endangered technologies.
The Pixmania list goes as follows:
1. DVD players
2. Fax machine
3. Analogue TV
4. The landline phone
5. Mobile phone charger
6. Wii-mote
7. Sat Navs
8. Dongle
9. The computer mouse
10. Chip and pin credit cards
Most of these are facing obsolescence because they're being replaced by newer or more integrated technologies - HD video replacing DVD's, email replacing fax, touchscreens succeeding the mouse, mobiles replacing landlines and sat-navs, and chip-and-pin being relegated to the corner thanks to NFC based contactless payment.
The V3 guys and the Pixmania crew seem to agree on a number of points, and one thing seems certain - cables are not wanted.Top 10 technologies in a death spiral - The Inquirer
