  4. - Net neutrality - The level of privacy we currently have - The Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers franchises - Betty White - Conan O'Brien being a late-night host (he'll be 74 then, probably retired) - When Mark Zuckerberg was just the billionaire founder of Facebook and not the evil overlord of the world

  6. Since we are all here, I would say Reddit. Even if the site is still up, we can be nostalgic about how great the content used to be in the good old days...

  7. Game of thrones

  8. Going to a movie theater. Sure haters gonna hate... but in 20 years assuming the tech continues to develop, should be more than feasible to give everyone IMAX experience from home, even including the social element (of telling VR avatars/friends next to you to shut up during the movie).

  9. Back when I was a young man, we used to have to wait for video games to download before we could play them.

  11. The smell of gas. 10 years, most cars will be electric. 20 years, all cars will be electric. Goodbye gas stations.
