Whether these changes are  good or bad depends in part on how we adapt to  them. But, ready or not, here they come:

1. The Post Office.  Get ready to imagine  a world without the post office.  They are  so deeply in financial trouble that there is  probably no way to sustain it long term.   Email, Fed Ex, and UPS have just about wiped out  the minimum revenue needed to keep the post  office alive.  Most of your mail every day  is junk mail and bills.

2. The Check.   Britain is already  laying the groundwork to do away with checks by  2018.  It costs the financial system  billions of dollars a year to process  checks.  Plastic cards and  online  transactions will lead to the eventual demise of  the check.  This plays right into the death  of the post office.  If you never paid your  bills by mail and never received them by mail,  the post office would absolutely go out of  business.

3. The Newspaper.  The younger  generation simply doesn’t read the  newspaper.  They certainly don’t subscribe  to a daily delivered print edition.  That  may go the way of the milkman and the laundry  man.  As for reading the paper online, get  ready to pay for it.  The rise in mobile  Internet devices and e-readers has caused all  the newspaper and magazine publishers to form an  alliance.  They have met with Apple,  Amazon, and the major cell phone companies to  develop a model for paid subscription services.

4. The Book.  You say you will never give  up the physical book that you hold in your hand  and turn the literal pages.  I said the  same thing about downloading music  from iTunes.  I wanted my hard copy  CD.  But I quickly changed my mind when I  discovered that I could get albums for half the  price without ever leaving home to get the  latest music.  The same thing will happen  with books.  You can browse a bookstore  online and even read a preview chapter before  you buy.  And the price is less than half  that of a real book.  And think of  the  convenience!  Once you start  flicking your fingers on the screen instead of  the book, you find that you are lost in the  story, can’t wait to see what happens next, and  you forget that you’re holding a gadget instead  of a book.

5. The Land Line Telephone. Unless you  have a large family and make a lot of local  calls, you don’t need it anymore.  Most  people keep it simply because they’ve always had  it.  But you are paying double charges for  that extra  service.  All the cell  phone companies will let you call customers  using the same cell provider for no charge  against your minutes

6. Music. This is one of the saddest parts of the change  story.  The music industry is dying a slow  death.  Not just because of illegal  downloading.  It’s the lack of innovative  new music being given a chance to get to the  people who would like to hear it.  Greed  and  corruption is the problem.  The  record labels and the radio conglomerates are  simply self-destructing.  Over 40% of the  music purchased today is “catalogue items,”  meaning traditional music that the public is  familiar with.  Older established  artists.  This is also true on the live  concert circuit.  To explore this  fascinating and disturbing topic further, check  out the book,  “Appetite for  Self-Destruction” by Steve Knopper, and the  video documentary, “Before the Music  Dies.”

7. Television.   Revenues to the networks are down  dramatically.  Not just because of the  economy.  People are watching TV and movies  streamed from their computers.  And they’re  playing games and doing lots of other things  that take up the time that used to be spent  watching TV.  Prime time shows have  degenerated down to lower than the lowest common  denominator.  Cable rates are skyrocketing  and commercials run about every 4 minutes and 30  seconds.  I say good riddance to most of  it.  It’s time for the cable companies to  be put out of our misery…  Let the people  choose what they want to watch online and  through Net flix.

8. The “Things” That You Own. Many of the  very possessions that we used to own are still  in our lives, but we may not actually own them  in the future.  They may simply reside in  “the cloud.”  Today your computer has a  hard drive and you store your pictures, music,  movies, and documents.  Your software is on  a CD or DVD, and you can always re-install it if  need be.  But all of that is  changing.  Apple, Microsoft, and Google are  all finishing up their latest “cloud  services.”  That means that when you turn  on a computer, the Internet will be built into  the operating system.  So, Windows, Google,  and the Mac OS will be tied straight into the  Internet.  If you click an icon, it will  open something in the Internet cloud.  If  you save something, it will be saved to the  cloud.  And you may pay a monthly   subscription fee to the cloud provider.  In  this virtual world, you can access your music or  your books, or your whatever from any laptop or  hand held  device.  That’s the good  news. But, will you actually own any of this  “stuff” or will it all be able to disappear at  any moment in a big “Poof?”  Will most of  the things in our lives be disposable and  whimsical?  It makes you want to run to the  closet and pull out that photo album, grab a  book from the shelf, or open up a CD case and  pull out the insert.

9. Privacy. If there ever was a concept that we can look  back on nostalgically, it would be privacy.  That’s gone.  It’s been gone for a long  time anyway.  There are cameras on the  street, in most of the buildings, and even built  into your computer and cell phone.  But you  can be sure that 24/7, “They” know who you are  and where you are, right down to the GPS  coordinates, and the Google Street View.   If you buy something, your habit is put into  a  zillion profiles, and your ads will  change to reflect those habits.  And “They”  will try to get you to buy something else.   Again and again..
