What about the current world would be most surprising to your younger self?

End of the Soviet Union and divided Germany, especially because the Berlin Wall came down so peacefully, with soldiers shaking peoples' hands through the wall as it was coming down.

Also, cell phones. Only Dick Tracy had one back in the day.

I never thought that I would NOT be interested in going shopping at malls. I did not picture shopping 100% online. It’s just so much more convenient to do that now.

Oh, streaming too....didn't see that one coming at all. And to do this ALL from a smart phone just speaks volumes.

When I saw your username as the last posted, I thought you were going to be on a Donald Trump rant. I was sadly mistaken Lol.

Oh yeah.. him. A pea brain moron as POTUS - Yep, never saw that one coming. That, along with the overturning of Roe v Wade and the banning of books. Totally didn’t see any of that coming either. Didn’t even cross my mind.

Thank you, Phrozen.

RVW and book banning are goods ones. I forgot about those.
