Change is the only constant of life, and the same applies when it comes to technology.
What was considered to be cutting edge solutions years back is no loger in that position. Below are five technologies that are soon becoming extinct.

2 – DVD players
Before DVDs, there were VCRs, and the trend is changing, with most people opting for Blu-ray and HD discs, which provide high-quality video images.
Streaming movies via game consoles and the Internet is also a player in changing the game.
3 – iPods/MP3 Players
Once upon a time, there were ipods and MPs players. Then Smartphones with large and expandable memories were made. Who needs an ipod/MP3 player when you can have music on your phone.
4 – E-Book Readers
