How were straws invented? What future technology will likely replace them?

The need to bring a liquid from one place to your mouth....you can create a vacuum in your mouth by sucking and this forces the liquid up the straw which they probably knew about since ancient egypt with reeds and blow darts and such.

Doubt they'll ever get replaced in the next 50 years.
 
Why would you wanna replace them at all? They're good for spitballs. They come in crazy loopty-loop shapes & they come filled with chocolate! They're also good for deciding someone's fate, when they're cut different sizes & drawn.
