In 2023, when people look back at 2013, what devices that we are using now do you think they will find quaint?

Keyboards, touch screens and other manual input devices. Has anyone seen the LEAP? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d6KuiuteIA

Just wave your hands around in front of your computer/tv/etc. ... be careful when rubbing your eyes or you may delete your OS ;)

I agree that smartphones will be seen as quaint... people will be using small wearable comms devices that are speech activated and have small HUD type screens in a pair of discrete glasses.

However I agree that books will never die. Reading from an LED screen (or the new OLED ones) will damage your eyes over time... besides, I like to have something physical in my hands. Something I can hold.

Everything will be seen as quaint, not in function, but in design. I can't see, say, people not using smartphones in 2023. They'll have a different design, but with the same functions we use now. I do hope that cars, as we have them now, will be old technology by 2023.

Toilet paper, opposable thumbs and eyelids.
