We're all in trouble if 'musical services' is added to that list, and if some of the reported D-I-Y functions on here lately takes hold, we might be on that list sooner than we want.

2. Can contradict No. 1, so make sure before you ditch

4. Lumping DVDs and Blu-Rays together is nuts, as most Blu-Ray players include smart features which means you don’t have to ditch your currently good Flat screen TV to buy a Smart TV

5. Been out for ages; however check online and you will find you can get top rooms in top hotels for very little.

7. Yes, but you can get a much more powerful PC for the same price as an iPad and still have change for an Android Tablet.

The other points seem quite reasonable.

Happy New Year

Bill

I don't agree to the laptop and camera items. If I had to work with Word, Excel or Powerpoint documents on a tablet instead of my notebook all the time it would be wearisome and limited. Or using photoshop etc. Do the authors think most people only do some internet surfing and use some shallow apps that don't require much processor capacity?
Regarding the digital camera, I have two non-reflex cameras, one very compact Sony and one premium compact Canon G15 with a very fast lens, both are way, way better than any smartphone camera with their small lenses.
I think they are just describing the consumer trends, but it isn't worth anything as an advice what's really useful or not.

Happy New Year to all
