Elgan: 10 things that won't survive the recession

I haven't been diligent about blogging this month. :-( To remedy this, I'm going to re-post an interesting article I read the other day from ComputerWorld.com. It was written by Mike Elgan, someone who "learns, thinks, writes, and speaks about techonology," and in it he details 10 things (both generic and specific) that he beleives won't survive this recession because of technological reasons. I am just going to quickly list all ten items, however, I encourage everyone read the original article for his clever rationale behind each.
  1. Free tech support
  2. Wi-fi you have to pay for
  3. Landline phones
  4. Movie rental stores
  5. Web 2.0 companies without a business plan
  6. Most companies in Silicon Valley
  7. Palm Inc.
  8. Yahoo
  9. Half of all retail stores
  10. Satellite Radio
