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

[donbuggy]

ano na kaya mangyayari sa tsikot.com come 2020?

OB, C4U and Retz will still be Tsikot favorites.

Everyone here will be obsolete by then :D Wala pa naman siguro antique heheh

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.

Obviously, TDM is just the tip of the iceberg....

That is essentially all the "colors" of the spectrum (not just as we see it), being the information highway....

That is sooooo sweeeeeeet.......

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!

Yes,- there has to be a jump in technology for batteries.....

Compared to the current applications, battery technology is still in the middle ages...

OT:

Miniature flux capacitance, for starters- anyone?

Or, a self contained matter-antimatter dilithium-regulated power source?

At 16 Tb/s in a single fibre. Homes would then be running like the bandwidth of current submarine cables. We could not just actually hear and see the person on the other line but touch.. Everything in just one penny sized projector.

Hmm...imagine the possibilities :naughty2:

LCD tv will become obsolete.

Until they are manufacturing graphene nased batteries, it will be only available in test labs. In short --> vapourware.

TV will be obsolete, replaced by holographic projection displays.

Graphene is another form of carbon atoms. Like diamond, bucky-balls, carbon nano-tubes, etc. The only difference with graphene is that the carbon atoms are now arranged in a hexagonal (six sided) patterned flat-sheet. In theory, you can produce a sheet of graphene that is only one carbon atom thick that is transparent like glass and conducts heat & electricity very well. And given it is as strong as diamond, applications of this material can be quite wide.

The current problem with using graphene in volume is it is very expensive to make and it can only be produced in very tiny quantities.

Hence, any talk of using graphene batteries is equal to vaporware.

The fluorescent tube light and CFL (compact fluorescent light bulb) will be obsolete in the next ten years and will be replaced by cheaper and more efficient LED lighting systems.

Hahaha!

And the LED back then was being used only as a signal diode in our protoboards..... And then later, as seven-segment display.
(if you reversed the polarity,- you are bound to get a toink from one of your groupmates for busting the component *and missing the deadline* for the project)...

Indeed, LED technology has gone a long long way......

No 3D glasses, for 3D screens, will become mainstream

[ZENMasterTYL]

might not be at the end of the decade, but credit cards will also become obsolete

[Retz]

Plasma TV's akala ko obsolete na but they are still available in the market.

What will replace it?

Plasma TVs are back because of their inherent "better performance" compared to LCD TVs, especially for the big screens. And more importantly, they were able to mitigate the issue on screen burn(-in)...

I research mo lang,- kaya mo naman iyan....
