Name and discuss something that exploded in popularity and then crashed

Usually both the upswing and the downswing was due to technological advancements.
The one that prompted me to think about this was GPS devices for cars/trucks. That blossomed into a nice little industry, then things like Waze came along and seem to have pretty much buried it.
Another was the video rental store. I followed along from the first mom and pop type stores, to increasing sized regional and then national chains, then streaming came along and video stores crashed.

iPods. Or any mp3 player. Smart phones rendered them obsolete.

Beanie babies. Never understood it; I had a coworker buying those things thinking they were the investible future.
In the end he had a shite ton of stupid dolls.
