Getting back to the original question ...

In 50 years we will all be dead.

Do any of our offspring care about valves and ancient wooden or bakelite boxes, or about monochrome non-usable televisions? The number could probably be counted on one hand.

None do here, and museums probably have as many as they can handle already. Sadly, they are destined to become landfill -- or probably fuel for some sort of incinerator by then.
