‘What do you think will die out with the next generation?’ – 21 things it looks like we’ll lose, for better or worse

‘Day to day information and knowledge growing up. I’m talking about the things you learn from hearing your parents taking and the chit-chat of conversations between adults. I see it and hear it all the time.

There are so many situations, I have seen and heard, that just indicates that parents and grandparents are not sitting and talking to their kids anymore. The information and knowledge I personally gained just from listening to adults conversations was invaluable.

One little example, 19 year olds that don’t know what a magpie was or a sparrow, or what a call centre is, don’t know what the speeds are for, or why it matters relating to internet service, these are just some things I have been amazed my neighbours grown-up 17y and 19y old kids didn’t know.’

‘Smoking. It kind of already started dying out when people realised just how awful it was for you but then it got replaced by vaping, which we now know isn’t exactly great for you either. Not to mention it’s incredibly annoying to be involuntarily caught in someone’s massive vape cloud when you’re walking behind them too. I literally did not consent to inhaling your artificial fruit salad with you.’

‘I think some Jobs will be gone due to AI, for example we might have AI that can do real time translation. Its difficult to say exactly whats jobs will no longer exist but there will be some.

Physical media I think could almost die out completely, it will only be collectors who go after a Physical copy of a movie for example. I do think we keep Physical books though.

Carrying cash….

Ohhhh….. some things will not exist due to climate change. For example big chunks of the polar ice cap will just be gone, coastal towns might also be gone.’

‘I’m from a pub family and the idea of a good night out has massively changed. A boozer smelling of farts with four men and a Jack Russell eating Scampi Fries no longer cuts the mustard.

This doesn’t mean the pub and clubs are all entirely on the way out, despite a lot of people feeling that’s the case, but venues are becoming more targeted to specific scenes and, in the same instance, multifunctional, catering to much more dynamic events. Alcohol free options in all of the above will become a much more prominent option rather than an afterthought. ‘

‘Clothes donations. They’re already not really helpful but as Africa develops I can see countries refusing them to avoid them being landfilled and to support the domestic textiles industry.’

‘The beautiful handwriting that many of us knew growing up. Each hand was distinctive and could be sometimes classified as coming from particular places and countries. Also the letters of our parents, friends and lovers. These can never be replaced by emails and instant messages.’
