Can you imagine That 2010s Show?


I can imagine like 40 years from now, they make a show about this group of friends in California living in the 2010s. In my opinion, it could be a good show if they do controversal subjects like teen pregnancy, drugs, drinking and etc. (It could also be a good show if they have good writers!) What do you think?

A show where everyone has their faces permanently crammed into their smartphones and tablets 24/7? Scandals, date rapes, rampant alcoholism and stupidity? Sounds terrible to me, lol.

It wouldn't be called That 2010's show, it would just be called That'10s Show, which sounds weird just saying it. Sounds like 'Tension'

What's distinctive about this decade that would make it stand out besides the technological leap?. Fashion wise?

It'll just involve a lot of selfies and references to social media.

Hummmm....
What will today's infants and toddlers make fun of from their parent's generation when they are the comedy writers of 2040?

- singers using auto-tune

- kids holding up their pants because they refuse to wear a belt

- reality tv stars that have no other talents besides being on reality tv shows

- youtube unboxing videos where people spend 20 minutes on setting up a new coffee maker, etc.

- the last days of those quaint old fashioned video rental stores

- the tendency of people to volunteer far too much personal information on social media against their own best interests

- the sometimes comical overreactions of social justice warriors

- and finally, a prediction for something that I think is still to come in the 2017-2019 timeframe: the mass chaos and accidents that are going to happen when an enterprising hacker takes over a fleet of the new self-driving cars and crashes them all at once.
