we'll make this quick welcome to watch Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for things that were around during the 2010s but are no longer 3 2 1 zero number 10 Netflix mailing DVDs for those who only know Netflix as a streaming service allow us to tell you about how the company started go to netflix.com take a list of the movies you want to see and in about one business day you'll get three DVDs Netflix was always about movies in the late 1990s when they first came on the scene they did so as a
DVD by mail service they would send you DVDs in the mail you would watch them and send them back keep them as long as you want without late fees it was a great concept and by February of 2007 they'd already mailed out 1 billion DVDs then they got into streaming by 2009 streaming had overtaken DVD shipments and the trend just kept growing in September of 2023 Netflix sent out its last DVD [Music] most people probably would have assumed the mail service part of the business had ended even earlier than that number nine PlayStation vaita while
the PlayStation Portable gets most of the Nostalgia love when it comes to PS handheld devices we hope there are some of you who remember the PlayStation vaita with some fondness released in Japan in 2011 and in North America and Europe the following year year the VA sold well at first but saw a pretty big drop off after the launch excitement wore off front rear cameras and that Wi-Fi so you can play it in real time with friends all over the world General opinions of the device also seemed to cool with the passage of time and
sales numbers never reached what Sony had hoped the game catalog was not good enough there were no AAA titles as advertised it probably didn't help that during the same time was the growth in smartphones which meant we all had handheld gaming systems in our pockets the V was discontinued in 2019 number eight Papyrus Papyrus the material was first manufactured in Egypt in the third millennium BCE Papyrus the stationary and greting card store opened its first location in 1973 and by 1991 there were 37 stores across the United States how did Papyrus come to be well
it's really a a great story a true entrepreneurial story in 2009 that number grew to a few hundred but it was all downhill from there Papyrus has announced will close all of its 254 stores in the coming weeks Papyrus attributed their downfall to a few factors overexpansion an increase in digital shopping and subsequent decrease in in-person shopping and strain from the 2008 financial crisis in 2020 the Papyrus stores that were still around all closed down and the company is no longer the announcement comes after the Retail Group reportedly filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection this
month going out of business sales are now underway number seven Nokia luminous smartphone we can't talk about the Nokia luminous smartphone without talking about Microsoft's attempts to get into the mobile phone game in the [Music] 2010s that's because the Lumia phones were exclusively running the Windows phone operating system Windows Phone definitely had its fans and the Lumia was a well-like device with sales growing fairly consistently from 2011 through 2014 Change you got to change your life so what happened in 2014 well Microsoft which completed the purchase of Nokia in 2014 began to gradually eliminate the
Nokia name in 2015 they introduced the Microsoft Lumia running the new Windows 10 mobile OS sales began to drop and by 2017 the Lumia was pretty much [Music] done number six iPod 1,000 songs in your pocket [Music] well these days anyone with a Spotify YouTube music or apple music subscription has way more than 1,000 songs in their pocket back at the turn of the century this was a huge deal the coolest thing about iPod is that whole your entire music library fits in your pocket when Apple launched the iPod line in 2001 the ability to
load up all of our MP3 files onto one cool device was as exciting as the company's famed silhouette ad campaign pign made it seem and remember the click wheel how awesome was that but while there are plenty of us who still cherish our old iPods 2022 was the final year of their production as we look back on the iPod I'll keep mine in case it's worth something one day number five Microsoft Connect motion sensor control gaming without the need for physical controllers sounds pretty cool and we thought this will be fun to play with and
it was and it was fairly revolutionary back in 2010 when Microsoft introduced their connect indeed it was pretty cool and IAL sales were impressive so much so that their 8 million sales in the first 60 days set a Guinness world record for the fastest selling consumer electronic device unexpected things helpful things but they couldn't keep up the pace by 2017 after officially discontinuing the connect in favor of honing in on more in- demand products Microsoft informed the public that they' sold a total of 35 million units even though the world keeps asking us what we'll
do with next just is excited to ask the world the same thing number four Wii U the Wii U is often the Forgotten Nintendo console time to upgrade to Wii U lasting from 2012 through 2017 the Wii U was the follow-up to the highly successful Wii and the predecessor to the popular Nintendo switch it had the cool Innovative Wii U gam pad with a built-in touchcreen and it was the first Nintendo console to support HD graphics is that a shortcut maybe but sales never reached the levels Nintendo would have wanted and the Wii U became
more of a bridge between beloved console Generations than a standout device on its own sure some of us still plan on our Wii U but most folks have moved on in their gaming lives and that's how it's done number three portable GPS units sure most of us have a portable GPS unit in our pocket now it's called our smartphone but in this case we aren't talking about our phone with Google Maps on it we're talking those old school yes it's already old school Garmin or TomTom type devices with GPS and maps and nothing else let's
call it an early holiday gift nice at the time these personal navigation assistants felt like a revolutionary upgrade from paper maps and they were but with the explosion of smartphones and map apps these devices have been rendered largely obsolete oh yes we built this city to be fair they do still exist but serve a fairly niche market primarily used for outdoor activities like hiking in remote areas we built this city number two Vine you might think that 6 seconds isn't long enough to do anything meaningful but for 5 years Vine proved that it most definitely
was long enough what is Vine basically Vine is Instagram for video the video sharing site that allowed users to post 6sec long Clips became very popular and even launch some of its users into the Limelight can you say Shawn Mendes for example you click the camera okay hold the middle of the screen okay in 2013 Vine was a revolution but as competitors got into the space and creators started moving on to other platforms Vine just couldn't keep going by 2016 more than half of the app's most popular users had moved to other services in 2017
Vine said goodbye but while it may have been gone just as soon as it began the impact that vine has made on the online video industry will No Doubt last for several years to come before we continue be sure to subscribe to our Channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos you have the option to be notified for occasional videos or all of them if you're on your phone make sure you go into your settings and switch on notifications number one Blackberry phones everywhere when's the last time you saw a Blackberry
phone in the wild what kind of mad genius is behind this there was a time in the 2000s and 2010s when it would have been very easy to answer that question because Blackberry phones were everywhere sure iPhones and Androids were beginning to take over but Blackberry lovers were a very dedicated bunch and getting them off those keypad devices was a Herculean task the classic is everything you want from a Blackberry and so much more the phones didn't get the nickname crackberry by accident Blackberry sales reached their peak in 2011 but by Q4 of 2016 they
sold so few units that blackberry's market share was nearly non-existent Blackberry desperately tried to stay afloat by flooding the market with products in the same time period it took Apple to release four iPhones black B released over 30 unique devices Blackberry stopped manufacturing devices in 2016 and shut down its services on January 4th 20122 what do you miss most from the 2010s let us know in the comments I miss you did you enjoy this video check out these other clips from watch Mojo and be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to be notified about
