What things do you think will cease existing in your lifetime?

[drumandhake]

Not a wish list btw.
I'm mid thirties and I think I will see the end of:
Petrol and diesel cars
Cows milk (majority drinking soy/oat)
Pork being eaten by most
Smoking (that's hopeful)
People casually throwing around comments about people's weight
Royal family
Legacy benefits :(
Landline telephones
Desktop computers
A lot of pubs :( :(

Landlines
Gas central heating
Normal dogs ( cockyshitpoos will be the norm other than working dogs)
Libraries ( other than main reference ones)
Cash
Newspapers
Sanitary towels
Cheap foreign holidays
Unaffordable weddings
Suits and ties
Stupid big handbags
Home ownership
Salted caramel
Lawns
Own drive parking
NHS
M&S

Towns will become ghost towns, as most people will either go to big shopping complexes or will shop online.

Why would email go?

I mean I hope it does, I hate emails popping up in my inbox when I've got my teeth into something and it distracts me but what would it be replaced with?

winter
high street shops
the BBC

This is just becoming a list of things I enjoy the most… teapots, cinema, fountain pens, normal dogs.

Why would we get rid of teapots and fountain pens when both reduce the environmental impact of the activity involved?

There is no way I would drink milk from anywhere other than a cow

Males and females

Diamond engagement rings
Doorbells
Starbucks
Huge weddings
Long honeymoons
Tinned food

The EU
Cash
Many high street shops
BBC and TV Licences
Labour Party
Physical newspapers

Broadcast TV.
Landline phones.
Meat/dairy will become less common, but more of a luxury item. don't think it will disappear.
New fossil fuel cars. Possibly non-autonomous cars too.
Cash.
Many, many miles of lovely beaches and several islands as the oceans rise.
Domination of the West in international politics.

Cash - will probably cease within a couple of decades. If the powers that be want it to happen, it will happen.

You're probably right about petrol/diesel cars.

Hopefully - the current electoral system (replaced by proportional representation).

Also - school uniforms in state schools (possibly).

The Tories' electoral base.

Free health care Speaking to a human on the phone regarding business, it will all be done by AI. Many pubs will close Many cinemas will close There will be a Rise in virtual experiences including holidays, whereby you will buy a programme which will allow your mind to believe you are holidaying somewhere else. In fact you won't even leave your house. Robots will become companions. The number of women having children will decline. You will be able to chose the sex of your child, most will chose a boy. This will lead to less females, lower birth rates, and more females will transition to become male. Girls will transition at a younger age to avoid going through puberty. The UK won't exist. Hardly any ungated communities, home owners will chose to live in gated communities. Hardly any free parks, they will belong to those who live in gated communities. Physical newspapers.

If that's the future I'm off to join the line for a bullet in the head
