5. If I were writing this, I'd try first to think of why
technology changes. Then I would see if I could tell from
that what sorts of changes will occur.
For example, people say necessity is the mother of
invention. If you believe that, you should ask yourself
what kinds of technology will be needed in the future. I
would say that all sorts of green technologies and
alternate fuels will be needed in the future. So will
advances in medical technology as we get more old
people.

I'd consider which technologies have changed the most in your
lifetime, for they are the most likely to continue to change, it
seems to me. I think about the changes in technology regarding
music, for example, and I notice things are getting smaller (from
the large LPs to...I'm not even sure what the smallest unit of
music is today, because it's not able to be touched!) and cheaper
and more specific (choosing one song to download rather than
having to by an entire album). That means the technology to play
and/or listen has dramatically changed, as well. (No more eighttrack or cassette players in cars, for example, and soon probably
none will have DVD options.) What other things have undergone
such transformations over the course of your lifetime? That's
where I'd start; from the past you can generally predict the
future. Have fun with this!

7. High School Teacher ANSWERED
Just from a teacher's point of view, I
believe all classrooms will have a
computer at every desk for every
student. The Internet will be used much
more extensively. Books may well
eventually be replaced by electronic
devices such as the Kindle and its future
upgrades. More classes will be available
online.

8. High School Teacher ANSWERED
I recently read two stories by Ray Bradbury that offer a view
on a possible future world where technology has become
incredibly advanced. You might like to read them yourself to
think about some various possibilities. They are called "There
will come soft rains" and "The Veldt". Both are dystopias, in
that they present a future world where all is not well for
various reasons - but I won't spoil them for you! I think we will
see a heightened informational society where access to all
kinds of information becomes ever easier. But with this, I think
there is so much danger as scientific advances take us places
where perhaps man was never meant to go.

23. Technology has killed the greeting
card.
We are no longer paying postage to
send out birthday cards. An e-card,
text, or email has that covered.

25. How we share
We are no longer using the traditional route of
sharing information. Social networks now allow us
to share pretty much anything, anywhere, anytime.

26. How we watch TV
Our TV experience has evolved. We are no
longer prisoner to a TV set. We can now
watch what we what, when we want, how we
want.

27. How we communicate
Gone are the days of picking up the phone or
heading over to someone's house to chat.
Smartphones and the internet have replaced
traditional chats with virtual ones.

28. How we read
We no longer need to carry books if we don't
want to. Smartphones, tablets, and e-readers
have made it easier for us to carry our books
around without breaking our backs.

29. How we parent
Parenting has now expanded to the internet.
We now have to teach our children digital
etiquette and warn them about the dangers on
the streets as well as online.

30. Fold a map
Few people these days bother with traditional road maps when they can
use apps such as MapQuest and Google Maps
to figure out where they’re going, or the GPS systems in their cars or on
their smartphones to help them get there.

31. Cash a paycheck
There used to be long lines at the bank every Friday as
people lined up to cash their paychecks, but today most
employers deposit wages directly into their employees’ bank
accounts.

32. Invest in a set of encyclopedias
There was a time when a person could make a good living selling
encyclopedias, and many families were proud to provide their
children with such a comprehensive source of human knowledge,
but the Internet made paper encyclopedias obsolete.

33. Buy a newspaper
For hundreds of years, newspapers were how most people
learned what was happening across town or around the
world. Today, we still crave news but we get most of it online,
instantly and, in most cases, free of charge.

34. Listen to portable
cassette or CD players
Who needs all that
hardware? Rather than
haul around a few tapes
or CDs and a clunky
machine, we can store
thousands of songs in
our pocket-sized
smartphones or MP3
players, or tune into
Internet services such as
Pandora or Spotify for
even more musical
choices.

35. Dial *69
Remember that neat trick of dialing *69 to find out
who called you? Today, billions of people have caller
ID as a standard feature on their phones.

36. Write letters
Scholars have been mourning the lost art of conversation for years,
and now letter writing is going the same way. With so many people
communicating through email, instant messaging, text messages and
social media, few of us choose to write letters anymore.

37. Do research at the library
Public libraries are great community resources, but technology is changing the
role they play in our lives. If kids go the library to do their homework now, they
bring a laptop computer and use the library’s Internet connection to do their
research online, which most of them could do just as easily from home. So they’re
really just there to hang out with their friends.

38. Consult the Yellow Pages
The idea of a printed telephone directory to help customers locate
businesses seems almost quaint in an era when so many companies have
their own websites and consumers post reviews online to help other
people determine which business can best meet their needs.

39. Call theaters for movie information
It’s still possible, of course, but it’s usually just so much easier to check
Flixter or Fandango to get show times and theater locations. And while
you’re there, you can also watch trailers and read reviews by both critics
and viewers.

40. Use disposable cameras
Disposable cameras used to be a hassle-free way to take snapshots, but
now that so many mobile phones feature cameras that can take highquality photographs and videos, we’ve pretty much trashed disposable
cameras.

41. Pay bills in person
or by mail
Not so long ago, paying
your bills meant showing up
with your checkbook in
hand or mailing checks to
your creditors, but electric
funds transfer now makes it
possible to pay bills online,
access or transfer your
money from nearly
anywhere in the world, and
buy and sell stuff online
without sending money or
checks through the mail.

42. Consult travel agents
When was the last time you had a travel agent plan your vacation? Exactly. Not
many people do that anymore. Who needs travel agents when sites like TripIt will
organize all your travel plans and create a master itinerary, or when a travel
search engine like Kayak.com will search more than 140 travel sites to find the
cheapest fares?

43. Reverse the charges
Worrying about the cost of long-distance telephone calls is a thing of the
past, because most mobile phone plans offer free long-distance calling.
And with Skype, you can make free video calls so that you can see as well
as hear who you’re talking to.

44. Shop at a bookstore
Yes, we love bookstores, but they’re an endangered
species. It’s just so much easier and cheaper to buy
books online or to download eBooks.

45. Place a classified ad
The newspaper classifieds used to be the place to go to find a job, rent an
apartment or sell your car. Not anymore. The classified ads, like so many
other things, have gone online. Sites such as Craigslist have turned the
Internet into a global swap meet.

46. Buy event tickets in person or over the phone
Remember when buying concert or theater tickets meant standing in line at
the box office or spending nerve-wracking minutes (or longer) on hold
waiting to find out if you could still get good seats? Those days are gone now
that you can purchase tickets online and check the available seating before

47. Work at the office every day
People used to go to the same office every morning, sit at the same desk
all day long, and then go home. They had no choice; that’s where the
work was. With today’s mobile technology and widespread broadband
service, your work can follow you wherever you choose to go.

48. Use the phone to check the time
“At the tone, the time will be . . .” Remember when you used to have to make a
telephone call and listen to a recorded message if you wanted the correct time?
Many of us still use our phones to check the time, but not by making a call. We
just turn on our phones and the correct time is displayed, no matter where we are
in the world.

49. Carry change for pay phones
There used to be pay phones every few blocks, and if your car broke down or you
needed to call home to say you were running late, you needed to have some
change so you could make a call. Mobile phones made pay phones and telephone
booths obsolete. So much so that the memory of those days seems a little bizarre.

50. Use an eraser
Spelling errors, grammatical mistakes and typos used to be a much bigger problem
than they are today. Mistakes made in pencil or pen required an eraser, some elbow
grease, and some fervent prayer that you wouldn’t tear the paper. Typing errors could
also be tackled with an eraser, but eventually someone invented correction fluids,
such as Wite-Out, which made the job easier. Today, most such errors can be fixed
with a click and a keystroke.

51. Open a file cabinet
Between cloud computing and various mobile devices that
can store terabytes of data, most people no longer have much
reason to create paper records and store them in file cabinets.

52. Print photos and put them in an album
Family and vacation photos may never go out of style, but how we organize
and display them has changed dramatically in recent years. Most of our
photos are digital, not on film. And although we may still print a few photos
for framing, our albums are more likely to be online or in the cloud.

53. Watch television programs when they are broadcast
Just as mobile technology broke the invisible chain that tethered us to our desks,
a host of new media and entertainment technologies have ended the tyranny of
television scheduling. We can now record our favorite television programs and
view them at a more convenient time or watch them on demand on our home TVs,
personal computers, tablets or even our phones.
