    SD cards. They won’t be completely gone, but will probably be regulated to pro cameras and a few niche applications. As storage goes, hard drives outside of data centers. Right now they are still hanging in there as cheap external storage for things like backups, but in 10 years they’ll probably be gone in that application.

    Fluorescent lighting. Granted it’s already on the way out, but in 10 years you may have trouble finding bulbs and your only options for an old fluorescent fixture will be either to replace it or an LED retrofit kit. Possibly the same thing will apply to sodium vapor lighting.

    Manual transmissions. While the internal combustion engine will probably still be hanging in there, my guess will be finding a new car with more than 2 pedals might be a challenge.
