Technology revolution - Gadgets which lost relevance in the past 10 years

Technology has moved over the past 10 years at such a frantic pace that there have been a lot of gadgets which were in during the late 90s have completely lost relevance and to say the least, got obsolete . Here is the list of top 5 gadgets which come to my mind.

a. The walkman/ Disc Man -
With the advent of I-pods as well other portable memory and music playing instruments including the mobile phones itself, the walkman has completely lost relevance for the consumer. Not only are they bulky but also they use technologies which itself have become obsolete like the cassettes / CDs.

b. Polaroid cameras/ Cameras with films -
With the advent of Digital cameras which can capture/ display/ save/ delete images at a click of button, traditional cameras which recorded them on a film have completely lost relevance. The advent of this technology spelled doom for the traditional cameras almost instantaneously.

c. DVDs / VCDS and Audio CDs
With pen drives/ Portable hard disk drives and cloud technologies available, DVDs and VCDs have already started losing relevance and its not long before they are likely to get obsolete.

d. Fax Machines
With E-mails and internet accessible easily across the globe, fax machines (which were once essential devices in any office) are no longer found in even those offices which have been slow to accept new technological trends.

e. Land Line telephones
Mobile phones can do everything that a land-line phone can do plus they have extra features which are way beyond the utility of a land line phone. Considering that, it is no surprise that land-line phones are losing market share at an alarming rate.
