I’ll take the opposite view… what technologies are ubiquitous today that will be irrelevant in a few years?
Smartwatches. Nobody needs this shit, they’re mostly just toys for fat people who want to “monitor their health”, and for gadget-goofs that need everything shiny, new and overpriced, regardless of the actual utility in their lives.
People (normal people) like having their messages, facebook comments, whatever else coming up somewhere even more accessible than their phone in their pocket.
The transition from pocket watches to wrist watches was for similar reasons, although it took a (first) world war for the convenience to be fully appreciated.

Love my smart watch
I go jogging and leave my big bulky phone behind. I can still track my jog, listen to music, and check my heart rate, but at 1/20th the weight.
