What Objects or Technologies Will Be Obsolete by the End of the Decade?

kaya nang gawin 'to sa tablet

It would be very difficult to draw by CAD on a tablet. You still need a mouse & keyboard to have precise measurement for engineering & achitechtural drawings. so pc & laptop are still gonna be useful by that time.

si steve jobs mismo sinabi nya na personal computers are very resilient, hindi daw nya nakikita na mawawala talaga ang pc's.

IMHO, parang calculator lang yan eh, may calculators na sa pc, celphone, etc. pero yung mga accountants etc., ang gamit pa rin nilang calculator eh yung old fashioned personal calculator.

Smartphones will be so powerful that it would actually be your desktop system. Plug it in lang ng monitor at keyboard, may workstation ka na. I believe this could be done now.

This reminds me of Ubuntu Edge. In a demo video they showed somebody connect an Ubuntu phone to an external monitor/keyboard/mouse and start working. Last i heard it had trouble getting funding.

Yes, this is possible now, but if we're talking full-fledged working environment, some work still needs to be done.i think the apps and user environment will be the main challenges for this.

The reason it didn't fly because of Ubuntu itself. There are a lot of Ubuntu users but not enough to bring it to the mainstream, nor that is has the confidence of the masses. If Apple or Microsoft would fine-tune the hardware/software side of things, then yes, this could fly. Microsoft is poised to do this with Windows 8 and they had purchased Nokia.

Google as well could do this with their Chromebook feature squeeze into a phone and their cloud-based software and services.

Vacuum tubes will never disappear. Vacuum tube amplifiers still are part of the best sound systems. I'm actually dreaming of getting one, kaso ang mahal. And vacuum tubes are EMP-proof, so defensive radar systems will always have vacuum tubes.

I would love to have something like an authentic nixie tube clock...

magkano naman kaya ang magiging meralco bill nyan just to have a clock ;)

Modern designs let it run from a standard USB charger.

Nixie tube is a display system made back in the 1950s using charged plates and shaped wires inside vacuum tubes. Each tube can display a number (0-9) or even letters. This was before the invention of liquid crystal displays and LED. Nixie tubes are still manufactured today but in small numbers only. There are also fake nixie tubes that use LED instead of the charged wire system inside the vacuum tubes.

There is a following for nixie tubes today because of the cool retro feel of the tubes. The usual item would be nixie tube clocks and temperature displays.

Teleportation... That would be neat....

Beam me up Scotty!

e-readers (e.g. kindle and nook)

Graphene replacing li-ion and li-po batteries. According to what i've read so far, it can be as thin and as flexible as a sheet of paper, i-charge lang for a few minutes, pwedeng gamitin for hours...wow! Imagine its limitless application!

ano na kaya mangyayari sa tsikot.com come 2020?

Optical fiber with its wavelenght division multiplexing replacing all copper infrastructure. All telcos are leading to this route, one fiber in a box data + phone + tv. Wireless would still have limited bandwidth, so not much to expect for the mobile phones.
