News, 10 businesses facing extinction in 10 years
Handicapping the odds on some fading industries surviving until 2017
Determining which industries aren't long for this world may seem easy enough. But some types of businesses, such as telemarketing, are surprisingly hard to kill.
And then again, other industries, probably the ones you're sad to see go, can't find a way to survive.
So start setting up your office pool, because here are our picks for 10 businesses facing extinction in 10 years.

They missed one, video rental stores. Movie Gallery and Hollywood will be the first to go (they're already on the ropes, can't pay the bills, and some studios are insisting on COD for their products) and Blockbuster will be right behind them.

I think the fax industry will go out too because you have email.
Instead of having a fax machine, and a computer, why not just have one that allows for more variety.
Anything you fax, can be emailed once you scan it.

Wow, just drove by our Hollywood video store and they have store closings sign up.
Personal injury litigation is also going bye-bye with Tort Reform.
