I can think of things already on their way to extinction:

Landline phones

Checks

CDs

Desktop computers, laptops

I keep hearing how artificial intelligence is going to take over this, that, and the other thing. Some "experts" even say it poses a threat to humans. I wish someone would ask them how this is possible if they can't even make a grammar checker that's reasonably accurate! These silly programs can't even diagram a sentence reliably.

They've been "predicting" that land-lines are going to go the way of the horse and carriage for years now.

I don't think that they'll ever go away.

I also don't think desktop and laptop computers will ever go away 100%.

There will always be printed books, (imho).

Just like even though we live in a digital age, people still use phonographs, and play vinyl records.

Libraries and books.

PC's: are and will continue to be important for processing payroll, ETF tax payments, and other necessary accounting items.

Newspapers, toll booths..
