[LIZA NEST] It’s a fact of life that the world is constantly changing. The technology and norms of yesteryear seem strange and quaint to us now, but they were once taken for granted. Many habits and rituals that we all have might not exist in the future; whether that’s for better or worse depends on how you look at it. Join us on a journey of speculation, where we consider the things considered normal today that might fade out of style in the near future. Some people’s guesses about the future may surprise you!
#1: Family Vloggers
Family vloggers, also dubbed "mommy vloggers" in some cases, have taken social media by storm. You’ve undoubtedly seen more than a few family "influencers" flooding your YouTube and Instagram feeds. These vloggers film themselves doing random stuff with their kids between ad spots and trying to sell you products.
Fans went wild for these family vloggers a few years ago. However, they’ve seen a decline in popularity in recent years. Many people have started to realize that it’s kind of weird to film small children without their consent, only to upload it for a bunch of strangers to see. Also, there aren’t many laws that protect these influencer kids from exploitation. Family vloggers seem normal now, but we have a feeling that their popularity is waning.
#2: Endless Paperwork
The healthcare system is notoriously slow to adopt administrative technology. We don’t blame them. Can you imagine converting a whole hospital and its staff to a new computer or digital filing system? It’s a huge task. That’s why most hospitals, nurses, and doctors still use physical paperwork in one form or another.
