What are some things that exist today (2025) that will be obsolete in 20 years (2045).

Yesterday a family member of mine sent me a picture of me 20 years ago in summer 2005. I kinda cringed a little seeing myself 20 years younger but I got nostalgic goosebumps when I saw my old VCR and my CRT TV. I also distinctly remember visiting Blockbuster almost every week or so to see which new video games to rent. I didn’t personally own a Nokia but I could imagine lots of people did and I still remember the ringtone.

So it was a simpler time back then and I could imagine 2025 being a simpler time compared to a 2045 persons perspective.

So what are some things that exist today that will obsolete in 20 years time.

I’m thinking pretty much every job will not go away per se but they will be fully automated. The idea of working for a living should hopefully cease to exist as advanced humanoids and agents do all the drudgery.

Potentially many diseases that have plagued humanity since the dawn of time might finally be cured. Aging being the mother of all diseases. By 2045 I’m hoping a 60+ year old will have the appearance and vitality of a dude fresh out of college.

This might be bold but I think grocery or convenience stores will lose a lot of usefulness as advances in nanotechnology and additive manufacturing allows for good production to exist on-sight and on-demand.

I don’t want to make this too long of a post but I think it’s a good start. What do you guys think?
