  1. 10 Of The Biggest Technology Fails

  2. 10. Mini Disc Sony’s Minidisc players reached their peak of popularity in the late 90’s-Early 2000’s. Minidiscs were sort of the lovechild of cassette players and mp3 players, but the technology was also great for recording live audio. Many concerts were bootlegged on Mini Disc.

  3. 9. BetaMax Betamax tapes were shorter, only 60 minutes (when they were first debuted), which isn't really long enough for a movie. VHS tapes lasted 3 hours.

  4. 8. Apple Newton The Apple Newton was the precursor of the iPad. It was a personal digital assistant (PDA) that did many of the same things that iPads and iPhones do.

  5. 7. Helio Helio burned out very fast, being introduced in 2006 and discontinued by 2010. Helio was a carrier that used Sprint's network. But, Helio was also a smart phone brand, which had several models.

  6. 6. Garmin Nüvifone Garmin made everyone’s favorite and most popular car navigation system, until navigation became a free app. Garmin tried to capitalize on their popularity in 2008, when they debuted a smart phone that came with a car dock.

  7. 5. HD DVD Blue Ray VS. HD DVD was the new VHS VS. Betamax. In 2005, HD Televisions were available, but were not seemingly in every home yet. DVD players were popular, but the quality of DVD didn't yet match HD.

  8. 4. Clippy Clippy was the office assistant from Hell. How could you forget a big annoying paper clip that popped up in Microsoft Office and then asked you stupid questions, like if you wanted help writing a letter, when you typed the word dear.

  9. 3. Windows Phone The Windows Phone is the newest piece of technology on this list and while it’s not discontinued yet, it probably will be soon. Sales are way down, with only 7.4 million Windows phones shipped in the second quarter of this year, which is down 9.4% from the same time last year.

  10. 2. Smart Watches Apple just announced that the iWatch will be released in 2015, but it’s a gamble because every other smart watch before the iWatch hasn't exactly been successful.

  11. 1. 3D Television There are limited channels available worldwide that broadcast in 3D exclusively, which also makes the television not worth the price, and the prices of these televisions are quite high, anywhere from $1,500 to nearly $40,000.
