Likewise,

NASCAR has made horse racing obsolete.
The outboard motor brought about the extinction of the sailboat and the canoe.
The Wright brothers caused the death of interest in gliding.
Live theatre died out with the advent of the motion picture camera.
No one walks, jogs, or runs since the invention of the automobile.
Molded plastics have killed off all interest in woodworking.
No one wants to go tent camping when they can spend a week in an RV parking 
lot.
Computer generated art has extinguished the desire for oil or watercolor 
paintings.

I remember hearing the "Everything will soon be solid state" mantra back in 
1958.
