• What devices would be obsolete, and why?

Do some research and back up your forecast with trend data. Summarize your research as part of your posting and list your sources. While you may give your opinion, this is a research assignment, listing sources strengthens your opinion and provides other students with the opportunity to investigate sources they might be interested in as well.
