Music existed long before there was an industry dedicated to crushing it, and will continue to exist after that industry dies. Given YouTube and social networking, it may actually be easier to reach an new audience these days.
Music and televisoin...well, goood riddance. I have had enough of the $hit they call music and the same old tired tv shows on different channels that I have seen at least a hundred times. Good, now my husband will let go of cable TV.
The bijou in our little town is now a small dinner theater for Broadway show re-creations.... with local talent. They put on pretty good musical productions and drama.
But that won't last either.
Folks will become cocooned in their homes even more than they are now.

Obama said I could keep my doctor.
Pictures, music, newspapers, television....
These things are temperal. People need to think about eternity.

Interesting list and I enjoyed reading through the 130+ posts by the Freepers discussing many already-extinct technologies.
Post Office is unionized, govt backed.
It will be around longer than the cockroach and house fly.
Television will continue to prosper on live sports if nothing else.
Privacy is definitely gone. We didn’t realize that the breakthrough “big brother” advert for Apple in 1984 portended exactly the opposite of what was expected.
Computer monitors can be large and full HD these days.
I still have a (legacy) “digital” land line....
Oh! Then let's add "how to write meaningful English" to the list.
Not bad. Any other suggestions?
We may well be obsolete. Think about it. As computers become smarter and smarter robots will be more able to fly aircraft, handle automobiles, control traffic, etc. Powerful computers have already displaced many humans from their jobs....project that forward in time. Without planning on our part, the future may be ugly as computers and robots try to dispose of us, their creators, controllers.
Have you axed him about that?
Please don’t tell me you believed him.
“listen to Alabama Shakes...”
Amen Brother..there will always be a few who get it right...
Say what?!?

Funny how this says privacy will be gone without condemning for that the very things on this list it so lauds. Writing checks is more private than magnetic strips, just as real cash is more private than all. Using some kind of Internet for saving files is definitely a privacy/corruption problem, and so on. Anything involving networked electrons is a threat to privacy. That includes your e-books.
Nevermind it’s easier to flip through a real book to find something fast than swipe-swipe-swipe. And land lines are great when cells stop working, and they just fit better. Unless you’re hooked to the new FO, which doesn’t work when power is out.
It’s ridiculous to say music will die.
Or muslim. Music is haram in islam. Islam promises that those who listen to music on Judgement day will have molten lead poured into their ears.
