People Are Sharing The Things They Think We'll Be Nostalgic For In 40 Years, And It's Kinda Grim
Crazy to think that in 40 years we might be missing everything that is going on today.

Earlier today, Reddit user kenezmaa asked a really thought-provoking question to the AskReddit community: "In 40 years, what will people be nostalgic for?"
CBS While a lot of the answers were pretty dystopian, there were also a lot of responses that were just inevitable, as technology continues to evolve. Here are some of the top-voted and best comments:
1. "Ad free spaces."
20th Century Fox —Permanganic_acid 2. "Privacy? I hope this won't be the case."

Sung Yoon Jo / Getty Images/iStockphoto —u/whatmatters123456 4. "Not having an app for everything."
Oli Scarff / AFP via Getty Images —ImCaffeinated_Chris 5. "Probably the feeling of a real book."
Shannon Finney / Getty Images —ismellwithmyeyes 6. "Small/local businesses. Like mom and pop shops. They’re closing left and right in my area."
Thomas Barwick / Getty Images —ballynoemax 7. "A world without immersive VR (I just assume that immersive VR will be much more prominent in the future, just like smartphones are today, even though they only came about in the mid- to late 2000s)."
Katleho Seisa / Getty Images —u/NormalPaYtan 8. "Items like chocolate chips that didn’t cost a shit ton of money."
Fox —Ermaquillz 9. "Interacting with people in the real world."
Henrik Sorensen / Getty Images —Imhim03 10. "In all seriousness, nature. Pristine spots have turned into tourist destinations all over the world."
Wingmar / Getty Images —EselSchwanz 11. "Non-digital money."
Chesnot / Getty Images —Cegopi 12. "Going to the extremes on this one, but I’ll say meat, as I feel like we will transition to a primarily vegetarian diet, with meat being a rarity or luxury."
Nata_zhekova / Getty Images/iStockphoto —captainn00dles 13. "Ownership. Everything is moving toward rental/subscription services for every conceivable item in our lives."
Thomas Trutschel / Photothek via Getty Images —NovaS1X 14. "Snow days. I doubt snow days are going to be a thing going forward. Kids will just have remote learning days, which blows because snow days were the absolute best."
Elizabethsalleebauer / Getty Images/RooM RF —u/RAGC_91 15. Driving your own car. I imagine that by then the car will do the driving for us.
Kmazur / WireImage —Lilynilla 16. "Going to see a movie in the theater I think, sadly!"
AMC —misskeys217 17. "Honestly, Instagram! Most social media! Reddit, even. I honestly doubt most of the SNS apps popular today will be around in the future."
Chesnot / Getty Images —lovecurrent And lastly...
18. "Their childhoods. As always. Every generation always believes the decade of their upbringing was the 'things were so much simpler and easier' days."
