2016 was a fateful year for many technologies

2016 was a fateful year for many technologies. Quite a few high-profile technologies that have marked our lives in one way or another have landed on the dustbin of history.

In 2016, we didn't just lose many celebrities, but we also said goodbye from many technologies. Among them, quite a few were unlocked that marked our lives. Below, see which technology went last year to eternal hunting grounds.

Pebble smartwatches

Pebble smartwatches became famous overnight, but their star quickly faded. The competition was disastrous, driving the phenomenon from 2012 to insolvency. The brand is now owned by fitness tracker manufacturer FitBit.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7

The Galaxy Note 7 smartphone should be the best smartphone in the world. And it was until overheating made it the most explosive phone of the year and Samsung was forced to withdraw it from sale.

BlackBerry

If you see a BlackBerry-branded mobile phone in the future, it probably won't be made by BlackBerry, which will now focus on software and leave the chassis to other manufacturers. Smartphones before smartphones thus succumbed to their fate after years of agony.

Wines

This year, Twitter shut down video-sharing platform Vine, which was pushed out by other platforms. Among the main culprits is said to be Instagram.

Facebook Paper

In 2016, Facebook abandoned the application for reading and sharing news, pictures and videos in an interactive way with the help of classic Facebook functions.

Google Nexus

Google got serious about the phone business at the end of the year with the Google Pixel phone and announced that it was abandoning the Nexus brand of mobile phones, which it stuck to smartphones made for it by others.

Firefox OS

Barely three years after the arrival of the first smartphones with the Firefox OS operating system, Mozilla said goodbye to them, because they failed to offer the best possible user experience, so they stopped offering phones with this system, and in September 2016 they completely gave up on Firefox OS.

Picasa

Picasa Web Album, which was born in 2002, was taken over by Google in 2004. Although it has not received a significant upgrade in recent years, it has been around for a long time. It was replaced by the Google Photos service, and Picasa was buried at Google so that they could fully devote themselves to the photo service Google Foto, a smarter photo application that works in harmony across different mobile devices and the web.
