Completely, completely wrong about the desktop computer. Desktop computers aren't just slightly more powerful, they are significantly more powerful than laptops. Many daily tasks, particularly in the workforce or entertainment, are significantly better and faster when using desktop class CPUs and gpus. Plus, I work in IT, and many companies are sticking strictly to desktop computers. Why? Because they don't move. It's a requirement for physical security. They're also cheaper and easier to repair, which helps the company bottom line. When I go home at the end of the day, I sure as hell am not going to game on a laptop. Even if it's connected to an external display.

Owning physical media is still the best as it can always be accessed and not altered

My uncle in Japan does not have a PC, but he has a fax machine. Japan will never give up the fax machine.

Physical Media such as DVD or Blu Ray will ALWAYS be with us as long as Streaming companies have the ability to remove content from their services for whatever reason they decide. When you "buy" a movie on a streaming service, you aren't actually Owning it, just renting it for a while. Physical media is the ONLY way to truly OWN a piece of content.

Dedicated cameras won't be going anywhere. Photography and videography will always be necessary as a profession, because that's how events are documented and news is spread all over the world. Also, they're still very popular as a hobby and I don't think this will change soon. And most people who are filming either professionally or for enjoyment definitely care for the better quality and functions of dedicated cameras.

Yes, I had the “pleasure” of parking in an area where meters have been phased out recently. Parking now involves being forced to download an App, create an account and hand over reams of personal data, reply to an email that they send you to confirm creation of your account and to accept a 20 page long terms of service agreement, except that I never received an email and had to go through the whole process about 5 times before it finally worked and I could pay the charge so they now have my debit card information on their database too. The whole process took around 45 minutes and it was almost time for me to head back home. A massive feat of technological progress!

With all due respect, I don't think that the desktop computer will ever truly be gone. With advancements in miniaturization, it might fully merge into something like an iMac on steroids. Having used a docking setup with my laptops, I can tell you that it made me long for the days of my simpler desktop setup.

Tech that won't be around? Hopefully video shorts. "Youtube shorts, making the world dumber in less than a minute."

I will be one of those Hardcore Bluray collectors. Streaming sounds great until a show you want to watch can't be found or until the service through which you "purchased" a movie or show decides that your purchase no longer matters. I will also agree with desktops but in that I think people are also deploying more servers as well. Networking is so powerful now that you can simply access a powerful server from anywhere in the world even from your phone.

Wrong about digital cameras. You can not replace the physical effects of a bigger sensor and an array of lenses. Therefore digital cameras will stick around as long as phones dont get many times bigger.

claiming phones will replace real cameras just shows how poorly researched this video is. They have taken their part of the market, but the limitations of size and lenses means that they can never compete in telephotography or similar. No, your phone zoom is not comparable at all to even low end cameras.  Same with displaying megapixels, a garbage metric used to scam customers. For 99% of daily photos you don't need more than 6. 12 is good enough for larger prints (after cropping) and 20 is borderline overkill for most users. Beyond that, except for extreme high end professional cameras, more megapixels means shittier camera. More pixels=smaller pixels=less light per pixel=shit quality photos. For this reason, several professional manufacturers have even started scaling down their megapixel count.

Gaming laptops suck. And as long as that is true, you will NEVER take my Desktop computer away from me! Plus, a large part of the joy of computers, for me at least, is building the computer. I can't get that joy from piddly little laptop or tablet.

The camera is unlikely to be replaced because a phone, no matter how good,. is simply less capable. Good optics are complex and require space. Hell, afaik, there is not even a single phone left that has a variable aperture, one of the most important features of the optical system.

Blu Ray, desktops, and gas cars, not going anywhere anytime soon

There needs to be a distinction when you say "digital camera". Yes, point-and-shoot cameras are a thing of the past. However, physical size limitations of lenses and sensors mean that SLR cameras are going nowhere. I don't know a single professional photographer who would actively choose their smartphone over a DSLR for several reasons. I'm sure there are some photographer who prefer a smartphone but their photography would be improved by using a camera with moving pieces and a larger sensor

4K blurays seem to be doing pretty well now. I would also say that streaming services seriously suck now. Content is spread among so many different services and older movies keep being removed. I gave up on streaming. Even the quality has gotten worse.

Desktops will probably stay around for a long time, thanks to the gaming community.

Worth noting that a downside to the loss of physical media is that streaming services can remove content at will, removing it from public consumption. At least with physical media options, people still had the chance to watch something that might not be broadcast again, but if Netflix cans a Netflix-only series, people will never be able to watch it again. If you have shows you love, I recommend looking for physical media to be SURE you always have access to it - the streaming world does NOT guarantee that.

I find it a little bit insulting the Simon forgot that us gamers also need ultra high end Desktop PCs.
