Each year, we are welcomed with new technologies. However, besides, many old technologies if not catching up with the trend of the era will be deathly lost for new technologies to develop and once they are killed, we will never be opportunities to use them in the present as well as in the future. Join the Network Administrator back in time and review 10 outstanding services and technologies that have been recently 'killed'.

1. Windows Phone:

According to Microsoft Vice President Joe Belfiore, Microsoft will officially not add any new platforms or hardware for Windows Mobile anymore. The cause of this failure is because developers are no longer interested in the platform of Windows Mobile operating system. Over the years, developers focused on investing in the iOS and Android operating systems to help them bring in high profits, which made the Microsoft app store absent many useful applications. Useful, not meeting user needs means that Windows Phone will be abandoned. When users are no longer interested in the product, leading to a continuous decline in market share and the lack of investment development is completely understandable.

Despite this, Joe Belfiore assures customers that current devices will continue to receive support in the form of bug fixes, security updates . for the Windows 10 Mobile platform.

2. Microsoft Kinect:

For those who love games, it will be nostalgic for the departure of Kinect when Microsoft officially stopped producing this accessory. Kinect is a motion sensor accessory developed for Xbox 360 and Xbox One gaming machines. In the past, Kinect used to be the best-selling accessory in 2011 and won the Guinness record.

While considered a failed project, with the help of developers Kinect continues to research and launch new projects on its core sensors that help Microsoft develop other products. HoloLens is the product launched based on technology from Kinect. Cameras on many laptops are also using Kinect technology to identify the user's face. It even has a partial application in creating mixed reality glasses (AR and VR) Windows Mixed Reality.

3. 3D TV:

Appeared on the market since 2010, 3D TV technology has quickly been noticed by technology village giants like LG, Samsung, and Sony and invested in developing 3D TVs. However, this technology is only applied on TV, but for other industrial equipment is not widely used, besides 3D content is not much, 3D glasses often cause eye strain if used long and 3D technology is also not an important factor when customers decide to buy a new TV. So, after 7 years of existence and development, this technology had to bow and withdraw.

4. Apple iPod Shuffle and iPad Nano:

Today with the strong development of smartphones, MP3 player products such as iPod Shuffle and iPad Nano are no longer sought by users. This forced Apple to put an end to the music devices that were once the company's symbol.

July 27, 2017 is the day Apple struck an end to music player products. Undeniably, the line of Apple music players plays an extremely important role in helping the iPod become a global cultural phenomenon. At one point, the number of iPod users far surpassed computer users, which is also a new era paving the way for the development of the iPhone later.

5. AIM messaging service:

After 20 years of existence and development, AOL finally endured AOL Instant Messenger, the messaging service known as AIM. AIM's departure was originally planned and has been announced by the company since 2017.

In fact, AIM messaging service is not so popular in Vietnam, but the service is very developed in foreign countries. If there is a popular Yahoo Messenger messaging service in Vietnam, they prefer to use AIM in foreign countries. Although it was gone, AIM's technologies were still integrated and left behind in modern messaging services like Facebook Messenger or Whatsapp.

In 2014, with technology lovers, I will know Project Tango, a very famous project of Google and this project is related to smartphones and tablets aimed at enhancing virtual reality. It uses special sensors and cameras on the device to scan and create 3D images of objects.

However, since the launch of Project Tango encountered many problems such as slow processing speed and accuracy, especially the hardware requirements are also an obstacle for mobile device manufacturers. In fact, this technology has been available on the Asus ZenFone AR and Lenovo Phab 2 Pro, but the technology is slowly sinking into oblivion and officially stopping development in March 2018.

7. Google removes Chrome Apps from Chrome Web Store:

At the end of December 2017, Google ended the Chrome Apps section of Chrome browser for Windows and Mac operating systems (not ChromeOS) and users will no longer have the opportunity to use the Apps section every time they access Chrome Web Store. In fact, many Apps on Chrome browser are no different from normal browser bookmarks, not to mention that browsers are constantly updating new features, so few users are interested in these extensions.

After the death of Chrome Apps, Google sent an email to the app developers for Chrome. As of today, Chrome Apps has really disappeared completely.

8. Google Talk:

This is an application developed by Google since this messaging platform was first launched in early 2015 and this app is commonly known as Gchat. After a period of operation, by 2017 this service has officially stopped working and Hangouts is a service that is replaced with more interesting functions. The suspension of this service is completely understandable, because Google is developing several services simultaneously with the same functions as: Google Talk, Google Hangouts, Android Messenger, Allo, Duo, Voice and Talk.

9. Microsoft Groove Music:

If you use an Amazon device like a Fire tablet, you can access this program until 2019. Amazon initially wanted the Underground to become an alternative to Google's Play Store store.

However, if not provided free content, not many users earnestly with a third-party app store like Underground.
