In a hundred years, the only ones left will be in museums… there won’t be anyone around who remembers using them first-hand.

- observationist 3y agoLonger than that. There are still WWII vets around and it began more than 80 years ago. People will still be using and maintaining existing CRTs for decades - there are still a lot in operation run by hobbyists, old people, and hipster types that make use of them. I'd say we have at least another 30 years before they are entirely relegated to museums and collections, and at that point, who knows what life expectancy will look like. There could be people alive even now who'll be among the first to achieve immortality, if the rate of improvements to longevity starts exceeding the speed at which people age against their life expectancy. We live in interesting times.
