Topic: Things Which, in the Future, Will Disappear.

Examples include: hand-held cell phones; the ability to get lost; not just privacy but also anonymity; paper (not just documents but also snail-mail, junk mail and personal checks); the physical versions of newspapers, magazines and greeting cards; and maybe even physical books. And a number of other things.
