“Are You Ready for a World Without Them? Uncover the Surprising Items Poised for Extinction in Just 20 Years!”
Electronic Receipts Instead Of Paper
In a technology-based world that is trying its best to be environmental, it only makes sense that stores will switch over from paper receipts to electronic ones. Many places have already made the switch, asking for customer emails instead of printing off a mile-long receipt of things they are not going to return (we’re looking at you, CVS).
Thankfully, more and more places are ditching the rolls of paper, saving trees, and going to e-route.
Desk Calculators Are Already All But Extinct
Once upon a time, the phrase “you won’t have a calculator in your pocket” was an actual threat, making kids learn how to do math equations longhand. Well, that’s not exactly the case anymore, thanks to smartphones! Even Siri and Alexa will be more than happy to help with simple equations.
With literal calculators in our pockets and on the computer, there is really no need for desk calculators to be around. In 20 years, they’ll be all but forgotten.
Large Shopping Malls Are Going To Be Hard To Come By
Shopping malls and large shopping centers used to be the go-to places for people to buy new clothing, furniture, and even cars. Now, it seems silly to get into a car, only to drive 30 minutes to see something that can, most likely, be seen and purchased online.
A solid majority of people have stopped going to malls altogether, ditching the hectic parking situations and crowds in favor of online shopping. Because of this, more and more malls are shutting down. In 20 years, they’ll most likely be gone for good.
