So what will technology render obsolete next? Fountain pens, according to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.

During a rapid fire Q&A with ABC, Nadella was asked which technology we use today will be gone a decade from now. Fountain pens was his answer.

During the interview, Nadella also talked a bit about his personal life, revealing how much sleep he usually gets and his favorite dish to cook.
