Culture Story: These 10 things we use and see every day are going to disappear soon

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.

#1

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.

#2

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.

#3

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.

#4

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.

#7

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.

Culture Story: Fast food employees — pexels

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.

#9

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.

#10

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?

One thing that I have learned over the years is that no matter what you think the future will be like, you're probably wrong.

Laura Herendeen

I will believe it when I see it, on some things

My favourite one was about cocoa trees being extinct by 2020 due to climate change or whatever the alarmists are calling it these days. Only 2 years to go. So much truth in that statement. Oh, did I mention I saw a flying pig last night? It was one of the worst pieces ever I saw around here.

Cocoa trees are native to AMERICA, not AFRICA. In fact, there are many south american countries, including Colombia, where currently there are huge expanses of cocoa cultivation, and in Colombia, in different regions these trees have replaced illicit coca cultivation. The cocoa industry is growing in South America.

As the advert on South African TV says "what could go wrong?"

I prefer to carry cash. Will not use my debit card.

Lexi

It’s 2022 and chocolate is still very much around! Had some tonight and it was delish! 😋 Don’t see it disappearing any time soon

epwjah

Many of these seem really outlandish, others a possibility, but none immediate. 2020 is only 2 months away and I haven’t heard of a sudden drop for chocolate, have you?

Robert Mookerdum

Humanity is going to disappear the way we are behaving.A lot of negative consequences are due to us being selfish and overindulging in all aspects of things such as 'Technological Progress' without giving thought to the ramification of these things.

When was this written? It talks about chocolate disappearing by 2020! It’s now 2024 & there’s still plenty of chocolate!

Susan Madanat

Paula Woodley

lwoolet, i'm with on this one the only time i use a debit card is when i order things on line and that's very rare prefer to buy things from a physical store so i can inspect the items before i buy.

Bob DeSuza

Take a look at the date on this story. 3/20/2018. I have seen this story before.

Eve

I hate to point this out but I'm still eating chocolate so I don't think it disappeared in 2020

Doris Dallaire

This is all old news. We’re in 2023 now and there’s still plenty of chocolate to be had. As for cash it’s fine when all the technology works but when the power goes out and technology doesn’t work, cash is the only way.

Clarence Quismundo

I take note that this article was written in 2018, while predicting that cash money will completely disappear by 2025. We're already in 2023 as I speak right now. The way things are going, cash is still king and I don't see them disappearing soon.
