The technological revolution transforms our lives. This is a fact! After a while, it's common for us to notice the disappearance of some things. It could be some object seen in everyday life, something that has always been there but is now nowhere to be found. The phenomena of nature also make the list. Want to know more? See the list!

On Reddit, a user recently asked the following question: “What quietly went away without anyone noticing?”. The post was successful. There were more than 44 thousand comments. We separate some impressive answers from things that simply ceased to exist, but that went unnoticed by many. See what they are:
Acid rain
For a user of the platform, acid rain represented a major problem for the environment between the 1970s and 1990s, as there was some damage to fertile areas. With the US government's increased regulation of industries, the ideal was that each one of them managed to sustainably reduce the emission of sulfur dioxide. For this reason, the phenomenon has become rare since the 2000s.
analog TV
This change, you certainly followed! The disappearance of analogue televisions, in which the image was reduced to a point of light before disappearing completely.
In Brazil, it was still common for channels to go into maintenance and leave a colored band on the screen during this period. Only in the morning, the schedule returned to normal. Good times! Or is it not? You tell me.
McDonald's breakfast menu
For another user, another memory that is now only in memory is the McDonald's breakfast menus, which were available throughout the day. Today, it's just in the morning.
24 hour stores
In Brazil, 24-hour convenience stores quickly ceased to exist. Most of them closed due to urban violence. For another Reddit user, after the pandemic, the phenomenon intensified.
Today, in the city where he lives, there are no 24-hour stores.
Privacy
Were you surprised? But this observation made in one of the comments is quite pertinent. Today, there are fewer and fewer camera-free public spaces. Of course, privacy is lost, but it is hoped that there will be more security.
