6 Technologies that Will Stick Around

6. Media Players

Somehow, the portable MP3 player is one of the few gadgets to defy the pending one device-to-rule-the-all convergence. Why? Smaer non-pjone form factors, jogging, and simplicity, for starters. All we know is that Apple sold a whopping 17 million iPods in the fourth qurter of 2010, thet's 3 milion more MP3 players than iPhones.

5. Landline Telephone

 
More and more people are ditching their landlines, but they'll never go away entirely. Service is cheap, call quality is reliable, and given how easy it is to overload mobile networks, they'll probably work better in case of an emergency. And we don't see business and corporations switching anytime soon.

4. Internal Combustion Engine


 
Hybrid tech is intriguing, but it's a stop-gap measure that, ultimately, is still gas-powered. With lots of oil left on the planet, slow-moving auto makers, and no good fuel alternative, we're going to be driving internal combustion engines for a long, long time.

3, 2, 1. The PC, Keyboard, and Mouse


We lump the together because in our minds, they're a package deal. We hope we 're not jinxing ourselves, but in some way, shape, or form, the dekstop computer will continue to sit at the center of our technological lives for some time to come.
