We can't imagine our life without a lot of things. But the world is ever changing, and soon enough we will have to say goodbye to some stuff we are so used to. You will be surprised to find out what will disappear from our everyday life in the nearest future.

Here is a piece of bad news. Some scientists believe that we would have to say goodbye to our favorite comfort food by 2020! Cacao trees may become extinct because of climate change. The thing is that they can only grow in the areas with consistent rainfall and humidity, in Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. These very areas can be pushed uphill in the future due to a potential rise in temperature.

This is actually encouraging news, as we are all afraid to lose our chargers all the time. Apparently, we will use fewer and fewer wires in the very near future. At first, the chargers will be replaced with special charging surfaces which are now being widely tested. Later it will be possible to charge a phone without any physical contact.

Bots are getting smarter and smarter every year. There is a chance they may soon replace surgeons. Artificial intelligence helps medicine a lot already: modern devices help to detect diseases faster and create new drugs.

Even now you can control your TV or air conditioner with the help of almost every modern smartphone. In the nearest future, there will be no need to produce and use remote controls. Do you think we will miss remote controls that get lost all the time?

Digital signatures and the usage of biometrics (such as fingerprints, iris and voice recognition) are already trusted by different companies worldwide. Moreover, electronic signatures are often more reliable than the handwriting, as they involve multilevel security.

As it turns out, the most popular precious metal on Earth is slowly disappearing from the surface of the planet. According to different researchers, the gold supply is going to fall soon. This may end in a complete disappearance of gold from our life within the next few decades.

A cherished dream of all the drivers of the world can be finally fulfilled. Automatically driven cars will not only save a lot of time, they will also make no mistakes on the road. The traffic in every city can become traffic jam-free, but no one yet knows when it's going to happen.

Robot-powered fast food restaurants are opening around the world today. In the future, robots will replace fast food workers and will be able to cook and deliver our favorite dishes.

That's another piece of great news! Scientists are already on their way to find the clone of sugar which doesn't have any harmful effects. In the very near future, doctors will be also able to implant healthy Langerhans cells into patients' pancreas, which will prevent diabetes.

More and more people today don't carry much cash anymore. Credit and debit cards are becoming more convenient and are now available for everyone. Anyway, researchers believe that 5 decades later even the cards will become extinct. Our smartphones or even fingerprints will be enough to pay for everything. In the next few years, cash money will continue falling from fashion and will probably disappear completely by 2025.

Which things from the list will you miss the most? Can you imagine your life without all this stuff? Do you believe these predictions?
