That article was written by a "glass half-empty" person.
I would say electronic gadgets have become fairly cheap and disposable, but by no means on the demise.
Was just thinking the other day that we thought it was a big deal years ago to have a 25" color TV when I was a kid. We could not have imagined having 50" and larger TV's sitting in our living room. I remember watching the old Star Trek re-runs with my little brother when we were boys and we wanted Star Trek communicators so badly back then. Now we have smartphones that make those communicators look pale in comparison. As long as people love their gadgets--there will be no end of them.
A few gadgets that have become available in the past few years:
streaming sticks--Fire TV Stick, Chromecast, Chromebooks, Amazon Echo, Google Home, TV Soundbars, Bluetooth Speakers, Drones.
