Redditors Guess What Will Feel Nostalgic In 40 Years And Here Are 30 Of The Most Interesting Answers
Being a ’90s kid, I often find myself stumbling upon something on the internet that we as kids used to have or do back in our childhood. Many of us look back at our childhood fondly, with a certain sense of nostalgia that fills us with joy (or dread, depending on how much you’re affected by existential factors).
But we never think of the things that we have now that we may end up being nostalgic about 40 years from now. That is why Reddit user u/tandyman234 has recently asked this very same question on r/AskReddit: in 40 years what will people be nostalgic for? And Reddit delivered.
Bored Panda has collected some of the best answers, which you can find below. While you’re down there, why not comment and vote for the ones you’ve enjoyed the most.

Privacy
Monday 5 years ago
I'm not so sure about this one, comes down to whether you value privacy or security more. Most people want privacy for themselves but not for others. We don't want people watching us, but we want other people to be watched so that they can't harm us.

As someone who benefitted from these cameras after a nasty car accident I know what I prefer.

I have some hope on the future, because you know how gen z is always saying they where born in the wrong century? We're nostalgic for nostalgia we've never had. Maybe we can fix what other generations broke in society and go back to privacy, and talking face-to-face. I would prefer it, and I know many people who would as well.
Rissie 5 years ago
No, it will not feel "nostalgic" we adjust what we feel comfortable with every day. It's close to impossible to be born in a Western nation and stay under the radar of a government. Which makes sure you will feel that influence for the rest of your life. But it comes with a certain security that makes it easier to be alive in the first place. Compare that to 200 years ago. Privacy is not having anyone interfere, but in any social structure there will be some influence from the outside world. It just changes to be come more tight knit.

The Internet.
Hell, I'm nostalgic for it now. Not the final form that the internet has taken over the past decade or so, but those wild west days before youtube, facebook, social media, reddit. Finding weird ass sites, geocities pages, looking up cheat codes for GTA, hanging out on forums, seeing something go truly grassroots viral and not just because it's trending on instagram or something. Those days when no company knew what the hell the internet was or how to market on it, it was just left to the nerds and the kids who were making up the rules as they went along.
I miss when the internet felt like a little adventure rather than a timesink or utilitarian tool to get the day to day done.
Kisses4Katie 5 years ago
I was 15 when we got the Internet. It's so crazy how drastic one thing can change everything else.
While it’s hard to predict the future and to know what things probably feel nostalgic to us, Reddit had no problem coming up with a slew of answers to the question. These varied from funny to interesting to just plain sad.
While some were realistic in their answers, pointing out that things like DVDs, driving manuals, and physical money will probably be something of a blast from the past, others joked that we’ll most likely be nostalgic about the US Postal Service, a hint at the current US postal crisis, and bubble wrap, also pointing at a recent bit of news that bubblewrap will be made in a way that doesn’t pop.

I'm fifty years old, so I can actually be nostalgic for things from 40 years ago. Mostly I miss my grandparents. We take people for granted until they're gone. The people in your life won't always be there.
I'm also nostalgic for a time when it was normal to not be able to contact someone anytime you wanted to. Now if someone calls, texts, or emails you're expected to answer or respond immediately.
What's In Your Head? 5 years ago
To be honest I refuse to live that way, personally. My phone is usually out of sight (and out of mind), and if someone calls or texts when I'm busy, I'll respond or call back when I'm good and ready. This may sound terribly arrogant, but I don't mean it that way. I just refuse to be available 24-7, it doesn't feel natural to me, and I like my peace and quiet.
Kitty Fenerty 5 years ago
I agree. I keep my mobile on silent, unless I’m expecting a call. I check it periodically when it suits me. I refuse to be a slave to instant availability via technology. I enjoy my peace & tranquility.

When I sold a bunch of my books at a second hand store they refused to even take any hardback ones.
Yet others drew people’s attention to the fact that we might end up being nostalgic for things like snow and ice, especially in areas that are already getting little snow, privacy in light of all of the surveillance being done via cameras and tech in general, and comfortable temperatures, a subtle hint at climate change.
The Reddit post went viral not only because it strummed everyone the right way—i.e. the nostalgia way—but also because it managed to get over 73,000 upvotes with a total of 18.4k comments. It was also the recipient of over 185 various Reddit awards.

Cash money. Besides the occasions when dealing with cash is just a lot more convenient, it's art--all those paper bills and coins are designed. Some are beautiful.

This is part of the lacking privacy. Card payments tell your full story, down to which kind of potatoes you prefer and how often you buy them. The quantity will tell if you have had people over (suspicious behaviour) or if you always eat alone (also suspicious behaviour). Both will be reasons to look a bit closer at your phone transcripts and your e-mails.
