a changed world

Not surprisingly, Rohan is growing up in a very different world than we did. Never mind the usual political / environmental / cultural / etc. changes hoisted upon our world, here are the more relevant (to me) ones:

• Airbags -- Most of us grew up rarely wearing seat belts at first, but now cars all have front and side impact airbags. The force from the bags means the kid cannot sit in the front seat till he's nearly middle aged. It also -- and this i just learned -- means he can't stick his hands out the window while driving down the highway due to the potential force from side curtain airbags in our new car. So, will i set a good example when driving the car that doesn't have side impact airbags? Will I even remember not to stick my arms out the window?
  
• Watermelon seeds -- where did they go? genetic manipulation has robbed future children of the chance to spit the little black seeds across the room. What's next? will cherry seeds go the same way? Will some new super fruit be introduced that combines the taste and nutrients of all fruits?
  
• Chicken pox -- with the advent of the vaccine - its unlikely that Rohan will ever endure the moderate pain associated with the ailment. Yes, its probably a good thing, but still....
• As if on cue...Newsweek has an blurb about them
  
• Harry Potter -- the series will be done long before Rohan starts reading novels....That's too bad and I hope something similar fills the void such that we can bond while anxiously awaiting the newest installment.
  
• And cry in disbelief upon finishing book 6 -- holy crap, i can't believe what happened. The book is no where near as good as previous ones, but the ending was a unimaginable surprise....

any others?
