Joanna Stern wrote a fun article for The Wall Street Journal: “The Tech My Toddler Will Never Know: Six Gadgets Headed for the Graveyard.” She selects gadgets she predicts going to be outdated as soon as 2030, making them as unfamiliar then as DVDs and VHS tapes are now to her two-year-old.

I’ll touch upon her list shortly, but my immediate thought was about health tech’s equivalent list. There certainly is a lot of health tech that should be headed to the graveyard, but, knowing healthcare’s propensity to hang on to its technology way too long, I had to modify her more optimistic headline to say “should” instead of “will.”
