Glasses will always be relevant because lenses aren’t for everyone and they are a pain to put (not to mention the threat of eye infections) , Lasik or even the bionic eye thing are still expensive and I still think people won’t feel comfortable having their body modified in the long term. In my opinion glasses will always more reliable , simple and practical , and if they fog up , just clean them with your shirt or use antifog ( or just don’t be lazy).

[@ZlothZloth]

Clean your foggy glasses off on your shirt as you're driving along?? Well, maybe once your car starts driving itself.... That said, too much astigmatism can't be corrected with Lasik and a contact lens that could fix that would be hard to blink over. Affordable bionic is way far off, unfortunately. (A little infrared and ultraviolet vision would be sooooo cool!)

[@lacountess]

Not to mention reading glasses. Who would want to go into a bathroom and put on contact lenses every time they want to check a label?

Zoos will never be obsolete. At the rate animals are going extinct in the wild, they will become even more prevalent, as there will be many animals your kids will only be able to see in zoos. They might be rebranded as conservation parks or something nicer but they will definitely not become obsolete.

[@2dollab178]

Animals are not going extinct at an accelerated rate… human intervention has actually slowed the rate of natural selection/extinction. Most animals in the world are already only going to be seen by our kids in zoos… the vast majority of humans will not be traveling the globe to go on safari to see animals in their natural habitats. Just a reminder, species go extinct, and come into existence everyday. This has been the way of the world for……. Always….

Physical video games should not, and will not, go away. Even in the modern era, we commonly see platform holders shutter stores and remove access to digital games on a daily basis. Game preservationists and collectors will never let that die entirely. Just remember, if you are playing a game digitally, you don't own it - you just own a license to play it. And that license can be revoked.

You know that the 'cloud' is still physical media, right? It's just owned by someone else. Most of these are great EXCEPT for the track record of questionable security. The number of critical systems dependent on cell phone app and OS security is a bit scary when you think about it.

Is it? The server is down, there's no internet connection, where's the physical media then? On the shelves of people owning DVDs and Blu Rays and alike.

[@billlee2726]

@@marikothecheetah9342 Well, yes. Things are still on physical media - whether you have access to it is a completely different question. For specificity, Cloud solutions are generally not on 'A' server, they are on clusters of servers. While the possibility of loss of Internet connection on the part of the provider does exist, these systems are (again, generally) very robust and redundant, and face significant fees for failing Service Level Agreements for outages. The point I was making is that stuff on the cloud is still on someone's computer, just not yours. As far as physical media for movies, etc., I'm with you. Streaming services are too fickle with what they carry or drop, so if I want to ensure I can watch something whenever I want to, I still get it on blu-ray.

[@marikothecheetah9342]

@@billlee2726 It so happens that I work in telecommunications company where we get around 300 requests daily for remote support, or physical exchange of the part that failed. If it weren't for a job like mine, or rather the engineers services 24/7 the issues would be much more noticeable. And even though technology is improving I still think that storing data independently in more points than just one (i.e. cloud, spread across servers, that might lose connection to each other and you are left with half of the data, for example) with complete sets of data is just a better precaution, if something really bad happens. But it's me, a person, who has a bit of fatalism in her. :D

[@GreenCobrasGaming]

I believe physical media should and I really mean should NEVER go obsolete. The irony of watch mojo saying digital is better then physical because someone could accidently lose the disk. With digital you can too. The main different is with digital any service can just take away the movie or game off their platform. Physical losing something is just the people who owns the disk loses it. So if you never lose the disk or it never gets scratch you have it basically forever. Their is a reason why I hate and would never get PlayStation Now/Xbox Game Pass. Also streaming services like Netflix are getting more expensive every year and the competition of different streaming services increasing over time. Another thing with physical media is the enjoyment of collection games/movies and having them on display which you can't with digital media. Been collection some Blue-Ray movies that last few years and I have a nice small collection going. Some of them I can only watch this way unless I pay for multiple different streaming services. So it is nice to have these movies in my collection. I am also the type of guy not interested in a lot of the new original shows like on Netflix or Amazon Prime. I am more here for the classics and the childhood memories.
