Some times, great ideas and great technology just fades away and we never get to use it again…even if it was a great product.

Here is the list of the top ten technologies that never survived.

10 - Knobs
Cool little heat touch buttons are cool but what happened to the good old knob we could adjust?

9 - Keyboards with real switches
Do you really need an explanation?

8 - RAMBUS
This was a great product but was knocked out by the royalties and the fact that it was way too damn expensive. Did you know it was actually faster than DDR?

7 - Minidisc
We had the ability to write and rewrite on these little suckers back in 1992, what happened?!?

6 - DVD Audio
Great idea, great sound but not enough backing to make it last.

5 - CRT Monitors
You can go to every single resolution and they looked great. Heavy as hell but still did a great job.

4 - Tube Amps
It kept me warm in my first apartment and they worked incredible. Sure today’s digital amps are good and cool but nothing beat out that beautiful glow of a tube amp.

3 - The Amiga
I dare you to to argue this one!

2 - Apple Newton
Hey Jobs, the iPhone would have been here sooner if it was not for you scraping this product. Dumb ass.

1 - HD DVD
The only reason this failed was due to Sony paying the movie industry with large truck loads of cash. Damn you Blu-Ray!
