[Closed] Acceptable behavior now but not in the future.

Imagine if fire was just invented H&S would have a field day.

"So you want to put a hole in the wall and fill it with fire?"

Glass?

How about keeping "domestic" animals in cities? I bet that'll seem pretty weird looking back.

Fireworks.

The motor car.

Cycling without a helmet (probably sooner rather than later), insurance, tax, hi viz,etc 🙁

Driving a car
Paying with horrible dirty cash
Smoking in public places

Trolling because it's "only the internet"
Wage slavery
Pretending capital is more important than production (and impairing production by hoarding capital)

checking phones during conversation

Giving the barmaid/waitress a pat on the arse.

Eating meat - except for the artificially grown stuff

Chinese lanterns.

Not that they're particularly acceptable now, especially where thatched properties are concerned.

almost everything

Sex - look at the diseases
Real relationships with people - hell, why do that when you have FB
Open fires
Using Knives

You name it ....

Excessive travelling.

Whether it be by air or road, commuting or pleasure.

Ties. In much the same way that JFK killed the hat, meetings of heads of state are now conducted by people not wearing ties and I suspect this coming generation will be the first where most people will live a lifetime without having occasion to either own or wear one - not for school, not on graduation day, not for a job interview, not on their wedding day and not at a funeral.

It puts a lot of blokes in a tricky situation currently though as they don't know how to dress without one. Nick Clegg often doesn't wear a tie, but the result is that he looks like he's forgotten to put his tie on.

I bet [s]tobacco[/s] alcohol, if 'discovered' today would not be permitted.

Vaping.

Landfill refuse on the scale we have it now (replaced by better recycling and burning of refuse for energy).
Oh and the Citizen's Band. I am sure that will be sold off too chepaly so we can watch more lolcats on our iphone mk 66's or something.

Cycle infrastructure based on assault courses.

I'm betting that the right-leaning will imagine the future becoming more North Korea and/or Sharia law - and the left-leaning imagine it becoming more US of A with a Teaparty prez
