Video Killed The Radio Star

An expression about the inevitable progression of society and technology. Has a negative connotation mostly, but can be used in a positive manner. It is a reference to the song Video Killed The Radio Star, by The Buggles, a song about an individual (the "radio star") being pushed out of their work by the new medium, video.
Eventually Nintendo stopped supporting the old consoles and their services. "Video killed the radio star", and all that.
