Things during your lifetime that you didn’t think would go....but did.

Bottled water. Pay a $1 for a bottle of water? Lol wth? So dumb. DERP

High School Bowling teams....growing pretty popular, quite surprising to me

Hyundai....copy of Honda and trash, sold a ton, greatly improved and all over the road

Grunge...I hated it and didn’t get it, had a  nice run in the early to mid 90’s

The IPhone.  When it first came out, I didn't see the appeal vs. a regular blackberry.  So slow and so little you could do on it - why did you need constant internet access?  

Tesla....Still isn't making money (without gubmit welfare), but is still somehow worth more than GM.

I mean I was joking, but only semi. I thought the OC would be fine for a couple years after starting up. I didn’t think it would be around this long.

Barring something unforeseen it’s going to go atleast a decade

Agree here.

 

I don't understand the skinny jean fad, who the hell wants to be restricted all up in there?

Rap music & I still can't understand half of what they are saying, let alone consider it music.

Not Amazon, per se.....just that I didn't think people would buy EVERYTHING (basically everything but cars) online to the point it's killing the mall and retail in genearl.  Clothing, which has no consistent measurements, especially.

When I think Spotify, I think the desktop app version, where you can pretty much pick any song you want, at any time you want... free.  I can see your point with a mobile app.

And when I think desktop, I think 50 year olds and up. :)

But in all actuality, I only know one person who doesn’t use it on phone/app. And that’s a cubicle worker who streams it on the work desktop.
