Why are the good-old-days always behind us? Sure, your TV is 20lb lighter than it was 10 years ago, but you've put on 20lb of weight in the meantime; your old Nokia cellphone was so durable it damaged the floor when you dropped it, but your new iPhone costs as much as a fresh organ on the black-market, and shatters into pieces at the slightest touch.

This open-list has some of our favorite then-and-now comparisons. Can you think of any funny juxtapositions? Vote on your favorite below, or post your own!

    In the old days the quality of TV shows was not as good as it is today (although there is still a lot of c**p being shown). People were more active. Now we can just watch people being active. The advent of the remote control is also a factor - now we just exercise our thumbs by pushing buttons on it.
