Can you think of household items that are going by way of the T-Rex?

A home phone of any sort. 99% of us will just rely on their own cellphone.

Desktop computers – as laptops become more and more powerful, the advantages of a Desktop become fewer and fewer.
DVD players – they’ll eventually be replaced by BluRay players
BluRay players – they’ll eventually be replaced by all digital content (Netflix, Amazon Instant, Hulu, etc)
Ethernet cables – everything will be wireless, very shortly.
Light switches – everything will eventually be tied to an all-digital system, where the lights will be turned on via a computer or touchpads mounted on the wall

@MrItty “the lights will be turned on via a computer or touchpads”

Or via voice control.

Please accept this invitation to visit my mother’s house. She has:
– A record player (yes, for round plastic discs)
– Non-digital body weight scales
– Hair rollers
– A pink case with a hair dryer bonnet in it. It has a little duct for adding perfume that gets heated during use to make hair smell lovely.
– A Hot Point refrigerator similar to this
– A wall-mounted, hand-cranked can opener. It also came with a hand-cranked juicer that also mounts into the holder.
– A coffee percolator
– A camera that uses film
– A hand-cranked ice cream maker
– An outdoor thermometer mounted in the kitchen that has a liquid that works like mercury
– A very basic charcoal grill
– A manual typewriter
– A rake (vs. leaf-blower)
– A garden hose and old-fashioned sprinkler vs. an automated irrigation system
– There used to be a manual lawn mower, but a family member must have taken it since she hired a lawn care service.
– Watches that do not run on batteries

There are probably more. While a few of them are no longer used, all are in working condition. I have her old landline phone in my bedroom. My brother has the grandparents’ old television console from when Grammy passed away in ‘74.

I own two VCR’s, a cord phone and an answering machine. However, the machine and VCR’s aren’t in use. :/ But the phone is very much in use. It’s old enough that it doesn’t even have a display window.
I do have a working pendulum clock on the kitchen wall. Got it at a yard sale for like 30 bucks. I guess that’s not common at all anymore, hasn’t been forever, and mine is there to decorate, rather than because I need it to tell time. Still, I like hearing the tick tock sound. It can gong at every hour too, but I disabled that (by unhooking the gong mechanism, not by clicking something XD) so I wouldn’t wake up the neighbors. And myself. It’s actually really damn loud.
So, I guess that’s one thing…let’s see, what else…you know what I never see anywhere? Dish drying sets. That rubber carpet with the rack, formed to place dishes, cups and utensils. Even for people who don’t have dish washing machines, (like myself) I don’t seem to ever see any of these anymore. I just put towels on the counter and place everything there haha.

Also not really a household item, but pagers are obsolete.

Also, giant slurpee cups. I like those. But they don’t seem to exist anymore.
