(received this as an email - but looked it up for copyright potential - the email was expanded)
Unfortunately, we’ll also have liberals and socialists taking away any money we make and giving it to those that don’t deserve it. Too bad they weren’t in the list.
Keep dreaming
The post office will exist as long as there is a federal govt
The younger generations are returning to books. The tablets and readers do not give the same feel. The youngsters I know are returning to books
Music will always exist. Even now they are remastering on vinyl
This is the site which is identical to the email I received.

11. The White Race?
Yeah, half the price and half the quality. Part of what is driving this is people settling for lesser quality just because it is convenient.
We have a few decades to go yet and will see a revival of freedom and shrinkage of government in the meantime. Things will get better in the next few decades.
But your list will probably occur before the end of this century, after Jesus takes the Church up into Heaven with the Holy Spirit. After that, all hell breaks loose for seven years the likes of which the nations and inhabitants of the world have never seen.
11. The Republicant Party.
Yes, even schools are trying to get rid of hard copy books. Once that is done ( if it ever is ), then whoever is in charge can happily censor away, deny certain written materials to all/everyone, and/or change wordings. And THAT is extremely dangerous and evil!
What are "they" going to do about the fact that millions ( billions? ) and millions of books are now extant AND that there are many private collections of them? BOOK BURNINGS? Will Fahrenheit 451 become fact, instead of fiction ?
People will willingly give up their family photos and movies, because they can put them on the CLOUD? The author of this piece is a tad dense!
Why didn't he or she just write that robots will take over and eventually, there won't be any humans on this planet?
Some people don’t believe in the concept of animals having human ‘owners’. I’ve seen ads for dog ‘companions and partners. Some PETA folks say ‘Your pet doesn’t love you, it’s just trapped by you!’
At least twice a year I hear of someone asking a court to declare animals as ‘sentient beings’ who are on par with or equal to human beings, and as such entitled to legal representation. I am not making this up. Most times, the court says ‘no’. So this kind or activist will continue to shop for the right judge.
I’ll guess the website “Scioto” will disappear within 10 years. I’ll be 67 in about two weeks. I might disappear within 10 years, also. Such is life. Our only hope is the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Through Him, we are assured to have eternal life within the presence of God.
Cursive writing will remain for literate people. So will books, just not te same topics. Holding a book is still often superior to a computer.
Music isn’t dying. It is to important to many. It will take a different form/delivery system.
Privacy is already mostly dead.
:Snort!:
In what universe buddy?
ebooks cost the same if not more then the real thing. And a real book won't suddenly change because they decided to "update" their embarrassingly wrong statements.
More than 90% of financial transactions are already digital.
And people make fun of crypto currencies.
You use them every day.
stockings and garter belts?
I think movie theaters will be gone in the next 10-20 years or so.
11. Cash
12. North Korea
I haven’t gone to the Post Office since February. I write 2-3 checks some months, 1 other months. I don’t buy newspapers. I’ll never give up the book, what you call the “physical book.” I don’t have a land line.
I haven’t contributed to the downfall of the music industry. I hope to hell that I have had a part in reducing TV revenues. I haven’t done cursive for at least 50 years.
All of which is pretty much BS.
Music?!? It is alive, well and amazing in many countries, Brasil has pagode and it has been in a golden age for 30 years. 100s of bands as talented as the Beatles releasing hits for years. All you need to do is understand Portuguese. The Colombians have Vallenato which is fantastic but they also have Carlos Vives and Shakira expanding their pop horizons. So many other incredible Latin musicians out there it’s impossible to get a grasp on all of them. But yeah, if the author listens to that filth we call rap or hip hop, music is dead and there should be a DNR order for it.
