Some of these technologies are obviously dying (land-line phones, fax machines) while others make sense, once I read about them (wired home Internet, dedicated cameras and camcorders, slow-booting computers). 

A few surprised me:
  • hard-drives
  • movie theatres
  • 3-D glasses
  • the mouse
  • remote controls
  • desktop computers
  • optical disks

And a few shocked me:
  • windowed operating systems
  • phone numbers
  • prime time television

An intriguing read!
