Jetsons

This post was prompted by a text from a fellow volunteer saying - Did you know cars have USB ports now? It's a crazy world.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of a conversation about how out-of-the-loop we are. We've tried to keep up with the price of a gallon of gas and a loaf of bread. Every once and a while a relative tells us about a strange new development at home - pajama pants that look like jeans? What's with that! or the newest humongous drink size at Starbucks. Yep, that was necessary. But let's face it - we are going to be slapped upside the head with about a billion little things that began and no one told us about. This stuff seems minute in the grand scheme of things, but when it all gets piled on at once, you feel like you are living in an episode of the Jetsons.

So I'm opening up a forum right now. Please, please tell me strange things that have developed in the last year. Do the automated checkouts at the grocery store now bag your groceries too? what businesses have closed their doors? does everyone agree that The Office should stop filming when Steve Carell leaves? Lay it on me.
