Television killed radio in the home, if not for radio in cars it would have died many years ago. And tvs are starting to creep in even there. A lot more people watching tv in a car now.
Cell phones are killing land lines. I know several people that have cancelled their home lines including myself.
Tube sites were the death of most TGPs, content brokers, and pic and video membership sites.
The internet has killed off other stuff like blockbuster (brick and mortar video rental stores). How many newspapers have gone out of business in the last 15 years because of the internet ???
Cassette tapes were the death of 8track tapes.
DVD tapes and players were the death of VCR
Internet porn was the death of porn VHS and Dvds.
Internet toy stores have closed down a lot of brick and mortar toy stores.
With changes and innovation a lot of stuff gets killed off along the way. Sure you can point to some things (some correctly and some not) but that doesn't mean that there isn't 100's of cases where people were right and things were killed off.
