You forgot club penguin
What the hell is that? A 1000 dollar chocolate bar for Yuppies? Or the latest Disneyland exclusive club for rich kids?
Nic Montero R.I.P.
oof
Never forget.
Haha damn I used to love that game like 8 years ago
You forgot about Vine and Club Penguin.
Let's hope electroneum is never on this list. 😉
Don't say that. It hurts my soul.
Ya, I guess. But, it won't be the same.
Remember when Microsoft made Kinect mandatory to use the Xbone? And all the huge amount of other bullshit they tried to pull, like pretending that they were unable to do without the "always online" requirement, only to patch it out within seconds of losing a single dollar of market share to Sony? Ahh, good memories.
Sourceror Fmnet yep, that's why I will never buy an Xbox one. still love my 360, though.
Sourceror yeah they really screwed the pooch with that bullshit and they never recovered because now ps4 has over twice the sales of Xbox one.
you forgot vine
Erick Martinez That was in 2016 :(
But it's coming back
yep, vine is coming back as an indie platform
I miss vine.
How about dat net neutrality?
oooppiikkk net neutrality is not a tech, it's a 'philosophy'
The less government shackles the better
No nuclear war so I’d say we’re all safe.
2000cobraguy butthurt right wing😂😂
Marcustzb Congress doesn't have to vote.
1 minute of silence to the announcement of the end of ms paint.
We will miss you buddy.
⚰⚰⚰
is there a replacement?
John C John Microsoft decided to keep it since everyone got mad at the announcement
Also they introduced paint 3D
insainllama Blender is better than Paint 3D
rip
RIP 3D TV, far too young with so much potential, you will be missed.
it will back in like 7 years.
SOME OF THOSE MODELS WERE ALREADY CREATED THEY JUST NEVER CAUGHT ON. MY POINT IS THAT 3D TECH ALWAYS FINDS A WAY TO REINVENT ITSELF.
Tidal Yacht is right about 3D TVs being just merely a gimmick. Even the glasses-free autostereoscopic 3D devices were already doomed before it could even hit the consumer market, with the exception of the Nintendo 3DS Family systems, of course.
Tidal Yacht That's like saying your eyes are nothing more than a gimmick. 🙄We see in 3D in the real world, why would you want to see in only 2D on a movie screen? When a movie is filmed right, the results can be amazing.
Well, i don't think 3D TV is dead forever just yet. Once the 4k hype dies down there will be some experimentation with 3D tech on TV's again, this time with better support and an overall more refined tech. Hopefully, it will catch on in the future, i mean it's not that bad if you think about it, the idea is cool but the execution needed to be better.
I create tech based contents. If you are free kindly do try my channel out. I will appreciate it a lot.
Forgot about ms paint
not only paint whole microsoft is dead
Not until people stop using Windows. That will be quite a while.
very soon with satya naddela
Xbox and Windows sell really good they also get a cut for all Xbox games they sell to
You would be incorrect. Microsoft almost killed paint it, but they kept it because people freaked out.
You forgot the Wii U
samvid reddy So did a lot of people.
RIP
Wii Who?
rip headphone jack
Tidal Yacht many? Lmao
Tidal Yacht You’re right, I was still looking at phones. Good catch, I forgot that other devices had it lol. But the headphone jack is nearly dead on phones. And it might affect computers too.
Let's hope that CNN makes the RIP list for 2018....The Russians are coming!!! The Russians are coming!!!
TECH GANG And Motorola, and Google, etc.
DaOnly One 😂
Do fidget spinners count as technology
Memeatar they need to get murdered not just die.
No. In this case, they're talking about computer-related technology and its associated services. So unless they somehow put a motherboard in a fidget spinner, they're not considered technology. I do see why you're asking though. I never really understood the point of a fidget spinner.
and Overspun
No no they do not. But ballbearings do.
Give them time, give them time.
Anyone here teared a little when AIM shut down?
Met lots of great friends through aim. Sad to see it go.
Ditto, back before it got overrun with spamming sext bots it was a great place to pop into a community chat when bored. I even started an IRL relationship on there. It's crazy that there's nothing similar these days.
youmongrel VR chat, basically next gen chat rooms
Swizz Zeus nah all the focus there is on the characters and antics. There’s hardly any pure chat going on.
aim is what the cool people used in my college
Poor Wii U, not even death do people remember it. 😢😂
Nintendo Switch is selling much better than Wii U.
Switch will be more successful because it can be used as a handheld, which might seem like a gimmick, but lots of people seem to love it.
I don't expect it to sell as well as the 3DS, but Nintendo seems to have made a bit of comeback. They should really get the price down to stay competitive though
Yeah, wii U also needed a mention, especially considering how kinect got a mention. Nintendo has been a great year for Nintendo so far, switch was a smash hit and even the games are received very well. Hopefully it'll continue in 2018 as well, just hope that can release more third party titles next year, otherwise the initial momentum will die down as no company can just constantly produce great exclusive one after the other, third party titles offsets that issue and gives Nintendo and switch some breathing space.
i create tech based contents. If you could spare some time kindly do try out my channel.
Tidal Yacht - I agree with you but if ppl keep making games like Mario Odyssey ppl will buy the switch. But I doubt that’ll happen
@Tidal Yacht lol, I was saying the exact same thing about Switch, but now I think it's a great console. The transition from portable gaming to playing on the TV is seamless, the build quality isn't bad at all, the games are great and its UI is very smooth. Sorry, but Nintendo somehow pulled it off in my opinion. This is coming from someone who isn't a heavy gamer, but any fans of Nintendo and their game franchises will love it
Don’t forget Microsoft band 1,and 2
That 2 second AIM closed door sound effect at the end was just golden.
The sounds at the end, brought a nostalgic tear to my eye... the world was simpler back then...
Thanks god VERTUE IS DEAD!. No more poor dead animals or snake skin that put on a crap phone devices.
No mention of the Wii U? 😂
Isn't the Wii U still being supported?
Yeah. The Wii U was a disaster
Phoenix Studios The Wii U was dead when it was released.
If microsoft killed the windows phones, they should at least release a launcher for their flipping tiles UI for Android. They're way beautiful than Android, iOS or Samsung's.
John C John agreed
Yup.i have an S8 and would love a proper windows launcher supported by Microsoft. Seems to be Microsoft doesn't know what to do with the talent that created windows phone software
iOS and samsung UI look better than this lmao
I'm still using a Lumia 640 and still like Windows Mobile interface better than Android or Apple.
I know it may seem a bit late to add to this video, but one technology I really hated and am so glad to see it go was Windows Vista. Out of all the versions of Windows, in my opinion this is the worst of all of them. I spent most of my life bashing the crap out of my PC, good riddance to extremely bad rubbish.
The Compuserve Forums shut down on the 15th, ending 40 years of activity.
525Lines ain’t nobody care bout dat
This makes me feel sooo old.... Im 28 Ive never used most of the stuff on here except for AOL in the past and a windows phone that my dad has
3DTV dead? Good thing I bought mine while I still could! My 4K LG TV also has 3D!
adultmoshifan87
I want one but never found one.
I wish they had 3d movies digitally streaming, some blurays are pricey :(
The 3d is pretty lame
turd burglar 3D is amazing when done right.
You can still get 3D movies from the EU.
Can't remember the last time I used an instant messenger.
i really cannot believe juicero sold so many products, people is so stupid
Nicolas Silva lazy
They figured, if people would fall for a coffee dispenser that used clever-looking packages, that they would shell out money for a high-fashion juice dispenser.

sadly interlaced video isn't a tech that died in 2017, so we have to continue watch videos from cnet with ugly interlace artifacts.
Wii U also passed away in its sleep last year as well.
The aim sound at the end brought back memories.
Groove Music was a streaming service? I have been using it as a music player ever since Windows 10 came out.
when the wii u is so irrelevant that its not mentioned
Very well made quick and to the point
Apparently interlaced video is still alive and well.
Joe Al That’s possibly the worst analogy you could reply with to prove a point, but I’ll work with it. You don’t see Volkswagens manufactured today with wagon wheels do you?
Joe Al 😆
I am really amused by how many people are coming to the defense of interlaced video.
This was sad and emotional :(
Yes, but Bridget looks amazing... 😍
Lol what is sad about any of this?
I had so many life changing and significant chats on aim. Rip little yellow man.
Damn, that AIM sound in the end. That was my young adulthood right there.
Sorry I thought you said tech as in technologies... not products....
I thought Kinect was a hit? And I can’t believe anyone ever thought TV with clunky goofy glasses would ever catch on!
No guesses where the technology from the Kinect is now... on the iPhone X, after Apple purchased the company behind it.
kinect was already barely used it made it worse when people heard that the NSA can use it to record you and etc
I'm not a console gamer, maybe I'm confusing it with the success of the Wii and its 'baton' controller...
Kinect sold very well on 360 but flopped on One
Probably the most emotional video I'll watch in 2018.
Just saw Resident Evil in 3D. It looked awesome on my sony 65 z9d. The 3d looks very good and this is the way it should have been introduced. Unfortunately it is too late. And how can I forget 3D gaming. The 3D looks very good as well on this TV.
you can still give the Nintendo 3DS a go for 3D gaming, lol. It's surprisingly good and you don't need stupid glasses, though it only suits people that like nintendo's game franchises
Tidal Yacht
If anything it died off due to the electronic 3d glasses that made people sick. LG had better 3d with the same glasses you get in theaters. And if it were just a gimmick it wouldn't be in theaters
One Two Its not too late I have LG E6 65 3D is amazing on it just bought stars wars the last Jedi in 3D blu ray yesterday. It's going to be shipped to my house from amazon UK when it comes out in a few months. there are hundreds of 3D movies online new one coming out just have to looked for them my 3D movies collection is getting bigger and they still make the zd9 and I think they are still keeping that model you can still get it for a little over $3,000.00 65 I might get it for a second 3D tv I plan to buy a lot more 3d blu rays in the coming years if enough people buy software 3D movies they will bring 3D back to tv's maybe one model will have 3D and if I have to buy a projector for 3D down the road then that's what I will do but for now I have my E6!
This year is sad we loss too many tech
R.I.P.
So sad to say goodbye to AIM. I spent many an hour messaging my friends in college and customizing notification sounds with them. I also made too many friends in high school through AIM. 😭
1:06 3D will be back. It's been coming and going for 160 years, still on USA movie screens (thought not as many movies as there used to be), and will be part of the ATSC 3.0 Super HD Over-the-air TV system.
The last VHS-player was made last year...
I think they still build some in China…
Where is the Wii U, Adobe Flash and Club Penguin?
The undertaker is still sad that his services were not required.
I am devastated over the death of the iPod shuffle.
3D TVs are such a gimmick don't worry 3D will be back in 10 years. The videos you're already watching are into and 3D there's literally no point unless it's to the level where it's pretty much a hologram
Long live these technologies. Never will you be ever Forgotten.
People've been saying 3D TV is officially extinct for years now. But as long as 3D movies and games that support stereoscopy are still being produced, I call bullshit. Colour TV took a while to get off the ground too, and people also kept prematurely giving that technology obituaries. I certainly wouldn't buy a new TV without 3D support.
Tidal Yacht, having very much enjoyed the added depth detail in all the 3D movies I've seen, I'll have to respectfully disagree. To me, 3D adds at least as much as colour does, and I'll happily pay the few £ extra for the 3D Blu-ray (I don't enjoy movie theatres at all, mostly due to disabilities). Sure, I _could_ live without it, but I _could_ live without colour in just the same way. Plus, you know, video games with stereoscopy! 3D and 3D, the perfect match! 😄
I will miss AIM the most out of that list. Sad to see the service go. I enjoyed it while it lasted.
No mention of the headphone jack?
Most important of all the headphone jack. Most phones now don't have it and every year more and more companies are removing it
Tidal Yacht Huh what you on about?
To the wii u not to be here is showing how much it’s forgotten
3D = pointless gimmick
Bridget could wear anything and still look pretty
you forgot Doppler Labs. The one that made the HERE where can can activly change the sounds around you
I think the main reason Microsoft discontinued the Kinect is because the technology, along with the patents, are with Apple now for the iPhone X and beyond.
Perfect outro for those of us who grew up with AIM!
Don't feel sorry for me...my LG C6 OLED has AMAZING 3D. Better than the theater. Watching movies are an experience again in my 3D capable TV and I'm loving it.
I’m glad I did not invest into a 3d tv 😂
Phills Lifestyle invest?LOL pe8ple sell tv's higher than its initial price?
Phills Lifestyle i have a 3D tv that had cost 1400$ in 2012 but we only used the 3D mode like in the first week we got it
Wow Bridget Carey is still here. I remeber watching her on CNET news in like 2012, shes been there ages man. Good on ya.
What about
• Headphone Jack (iPhone)
• MS Paint
• Wii U
• Vine
and of course
*Net Neutrality* :(
Samsung Galaxy next is not ditching the headphone jack
3D TV is dead and buried yet the movie industry continues to shove it down our throats at a record pace.
you forgot the home button and headphone jack for smartphones
I was really disappointed that Windows Phone/Mobile didn't make it. I enjoyed it more than Android or iOS. Now I'm stuck between having to pick one or the other.
The only people who wanted aim were 80 yr old ladies. My father still uses aol mail, and internet explorer! That's the target audience! 😂😂😂
No 3D TV's does not mean it's dead there are home Projectors and headsets being made not to mention all the new and old movies like terminator 2.
I clicked on this all ready to rage in case the headphone jack was part of this video, but it wasn't - thumbs up and good vid!
So no Miiverse or Wii U? Ok. You do you CNET. You do you...
Idk why but AIM death made me sad. I haven't used it in years but it just got to me.
Oh AIM I forgot you existed until I saw that visual prompt.
I didn't know AOL messenger was still running lol
Goddamn that door opening and closing at the end.. I haven't heard that in years!😭
I miss the ipod shuffle plus my parents still have 3dtv
I'm not too bummed about most of these. Except for AIM. I never used it and it was before my time but still.
Groove music is on my Lenovo/Windows computer
I love how people think the interlacing was a mistake. Lol
Verizon: omae wa mou shindeiru.
AIM: N-NANI!? *gets stabbed with Verizon’s check mark*
LEGO Dimensions were a rippoff.
Windows Phones actually had some advantages over Android & IOS, I still use my HTC M8W - but obviously the negatives outweigh the positives. Too few apps got ported over so I mainly use my Android Samsung.
Oh AIM those were the days. Get off school, fire up the old gateway. In no time you'd have 15 AIM windows open messaging all your school friends.
It’s a sad story...
But we aren’t gonna miss any of this😂😂😂
Let me explain why??
Coz with time, inovaction world is getting better, only the Best’s stays, rest just fads away..
Bridget for president 🇺🇸
I can honestly say, I have no idea what most of this stuff is, and the few things I did hear about, I never used.
They forgot that the note 7 died in an explosive mess as well.
Can we also kill the term smartphone?
I love Kinect... million people still use it. I don't get it . I'm glad i got mine that came with Xbox one.
3D is still a thing?
Vista was/is awful so they shouldn't have stopped support for it. P.S. Windows 10 is no prize either; my Laptop used that platform & it crashed after only a few months.😒
What about the DSI? Nintendo shut down the shop in 2017.
I miss those days of dozens of AOL cds stuffed into my mail every week 😢
NOT! 🤣
Apple face recognition
Gamers Republic What? Did you even read what your wrote?
Give it time. Stop calling things failure right after they are launched.
Gamers Republic hahaha that shit was dead on arrival
Other phone companies are trying to replicate a similar facial recognition system, and are having trouble lol.
Works awesome on my X
Literally got said about AIM and that log off chime.
AIM defined what? It was ICQ that defined instant messaging.
i think 3d tv will be back when hdmi 2.1 arrives as it will allow 3d at 4k resolution.
Google Glass?? Oh..that was last year..
I love my Nano Shuffle. Will Apple still support it?
You forgot *insert something that has nothing to do with the genre of the items in the video*
I really wanted 3D to evolve before going, coulda fixed the framerate, and up the resolution
