Richard Dawson from What's Next (www.nowandnext.com) created the Extinction Timeline with his predictions of what products and services will disappear in the next 50 years. Also available as a PDF here. Here are a few highlights:

• 2018 DVDs
• 2019 Libraries
• 2025 Desktop computers
• 2030 Reality TV (why so long?!?)
• 2037 Glaciers
  
• 2049 Physical Newspapers

I look forward to "Lists of predictions" going extinct sometime after 2050. Funny how it predicts it's own extinction.
