-2097: Robot that can self-replicate itself is created and is stored in high security conditions to prevent a breakout of “robots”
-2098: Old Computer printers, (2D) are now redundant as ink is not made any more as it is not needed because 3D printers have taken over
-2099: Landfills are no longer used as there is now a way to recycle anything by sustainable eco-friendly means

It took about 2-3 hours to think up and write all of these events and I had help from some friends from Lab_13, (Ben, Josh, Ross, Siani and Miss Tyler) who supplied a lot of good ideas for the list.
Thank you for reading this post and and extra special thank you if you read through the whole list.
