    But some people still like cable, just like some people still like walking into glass doors, sitting in gum, preshaken sodas, and getting hit with a shopping cart.

    One can hope.
    It is here almost already around 80% of people here just need to log in and verify that the info is correct and you need to have done something out of the norm to need to alter anything.

    my guess would be cash money tho i do not like the idea the positive of a cashless living is just too great ( for the government ) makes tax evasion for normal people much more tricky.

    But the old school landline phones are useless, because the service provider switches to IP and no longer provides the phone line with the needed power.

    This is also a big topic for fire alarm systems and emergency call systems in elevators.

    you would fall into the enthusiast / work requirement group. I work in IT (info sec) and I can use a laptop but its connected to 3 screens and a fairly beasty laptop.

    All the time, and I'm faster in the drive-thru than people with debit/credit cards.

    Gas cars. You’ll still see them but new ones won’t be purchasible

    Desktops/laptops. We’re slowing inching to the era of augmented reality.

    Mega retailers (Wal Mart, Target). They likely won’t survive the Amazon age.

    Have y'all never heard of debit or EFTPOS?

    Physical money. Already very much on it's way out, especially in Denmark. Everywhere takes cards, or you can pay with your phone, and some places have even stopped taking cash entirely.

    The replacements are not as convenient, so those are not going anywhere.
