5 things tech will replace in the future

You may not have a crystal ball that can see into the future, but if you look at the current trends, you’ll notice that technological progress has replaced a lot of familiar things.

When was the last time you went to the shop and bought a CD? Or sent a fax to one of your coworkers? You probably did a lot of these things a few years ago!

Check out the list of common things that will most probably be replaced by technology in the future…

1. Car Mirrors
Camera and display setups have become standard in many new higher-end cars, all are essentially used for seeing the area surrounding your car.

As we make the transition to driverless cars, our vehicles will require more cameras and sensors. And since these monitoring systems are so much more versatile, they will completely replace our car’s old-school mirrors.

2. Plastic Cards
Cash is slowing dying, and pretty soon we won’t even have to carry around physical cards anymore!

Paying for things with mobile or wearable tech is far more convenient, and these technologies even have the potential to cut down on fraud.

3. Cords and Chargers
The overflow of messy wires and cords that once ruled our lives are slowly on the way out thanks to tech such as Bluetooth and WiFi networking.

Chances are good that several of the accessories around you right at this very moment (phone, printer, keyboard, mouse) have the ability to communicate with one another without a physical connection.

Even now we are entering the age of wireless tech, which means you won’t have to carry around a charger, ever! In the very near future, all you will have to do is put your device down on a charging surface.

4. Dedicated Remote Controls
For decades, the remote control has been a familiar device in our homes, however future generations probably won’t inherit our need for it.

Even now, with more smart TV sets coming out every day, there are ways to connect your phone to your TV without the need for a dedicated remote control. Why keep track of your remote that you keep losing when you can use your phone, tablet or whatever crazy future device comes out.

5. Delivery People
The post office is slowly descending into nothingness, however you can’t email packages.

Drones are the nest best thing. They don’t need sleep, they don’t need pay and they don’t need raises; they’re every delivery companies dream employee. While the logistics and laws surrounding drone delivery are still being discussed, the demand for a cheaper method of delivering packages will encourage their development.

The year 2015 doesn’t look anything like the flying car super future we were promised, but the fact of the matter that is in the future our modern day things will be replaced by technology.
