Car keys/fobs
my answer varies quite a bit depending on whether we mean tech that will be relegated to specific niche use cases and markets, tech that will no longer be produced at all, or tech that can't be found any more, even used.
the first category could include a lot of things, like most of the other suggestions that have already been suggested here, but i don't think there's any chance of blu-ray discs or desktop computers being totally gone in that time frame. the second category will probably include small gasoline powered cars, at least in some countries. and the third category will probably include most standard incandescent or CFL light bulbs, but they might still exist in some niche applications.

I am with you on physical media, and it is sad. Physical media is the only media you really own.

I'd say charging cables / most kinds of wires.
People are used to and comfortable with wireless charging these days despite it being spotty in terms of availability.
Better charging rates and capacity to power larger appliances might end up with you having a completely wireless home.
Only true wireless charging would kill wired chargers. The so called wireless charger still need to be charged with a cable
Next ten years? Sounds more like a 50/100 year prediction

Manual appliances. You can open the fridge, but only if you pay your monthly subscription fee to keep it restocked.
We work hand-in-hand in retailers to make online shopping the default, whilst making the UI only accessible to AI bots, so if you want a stocked fridge; pay your fees.
