According the Telegraph (UK), Pixmania’s list of electronic items that will be “endangered species” by the end of 2010 included the Wii Remote.  Their reasoning is because of new technology, such as Microsoft’s Project Natal, which they believe will take over.  Apparently, the world would rather not hold anything in their hand(s) when playing video games.

Full list:

2010’s most endangered technologies:
1. DVD players
2. Fax machine
3. Analogue TV
4. The landline phone
5. Mobile phone charger
6. Wii-mote
7. Sat Navs
8. Dongle
9. The computer mouse
10. Chip and pin credit cards

    It looked credible at first, but citing the computer mouse and landlines as endangered pieces of hardware by the end of the next year is plain ridiculous. It’s 2010, not 2100 we’re moving to…

    Yeah… I’m not giving up my mouse. This stupid touchpad on my laptop gives me carpal tunnels.

    That makes me think of Back to the Future. And, mobile phone chargers? Most people like having power to their phones, especially if landlines are vanishing.
