What won't be around in 10 years time?
Gasoline powered automobiles. Cell phones. Those old rotary telephones will all be gone. Analog televisions go off the air in February of this year. In 10 years time the deep television sets will be relics of the past. Televisions will be mostly flat panel displays set flush against a wall.
Ties will be a thing of the past. People will refuse to wear even tuxedo bow ties. Stemmed wine glasses will be considered archaic, but will still be used. Plastic utensils will disappear.
Gosh, how can one predict? What do YOU think won't be around in 2019? Drive in theaters? Fast food restaurants? Those check cashing places will all disappear as businesses do direct deposit. The penny will be phased out six years from now, but people will still have them in their coin collections. You can find low denomination coins littering the streets of St. Petersburg, Russia. These will probably disappear from their currency also. England will replace their pound with the euro.
There are some countries that will disappear, and some new ones that will form.
There are quite a few species that will disappear within the next ten years. The polar bear, thankfully, will not be one of them. The polar bear will persist through the maunder minimum, and won't go extinct for another century. Of course, by then we'll have the technology to recreate it from preserved cell samples, but we won't.
The first woolly mammoth will be born in 2017. So that is something that suddenly WILL be around, for awhile.
