Off the top of my head, a few mainstay items of Americana that have fallen victim to technological advances: Western Union (oh, the days of the telegram) / Polaroid (miss that Instamatic) / TV Guide (can't wait for my weekly issue to know what's on TV) / Reader's Digest (popularized reading fare) These seemed like "forever" companies when I was growing up and are now either dead or are ghosts of their old selves hanging around with just enough presence to haunt us with their reminders of what used to be.
