At Ask Reddit, nepat1248 asks:
What is a completely rational sentence you could speak today, that if you said 20 years ago, people would think you were insane?
This is a fun question! Many people offered references to how technology has changed our daily lives. AI0 writes:
I store my contacts in the cloud.
Saintarium comments on the dystopian horror that we currently live in:
"I can't wait for Disney to finish making the next Avengers and Star Wars movies!"
Who could have predicted that Facebook would exist? Not sp0rk_walker:
All those people from high school you never thought you would see again? Well you still won't talk to them but you will see pictures of their kids every day.
Bkvm96 is ready to lead a cult:
"I have 2000 followers!"
GalaxyAwesome clicked on the wrong button:
Aw man, I accidentally liked her photo.
TheMobHasSpoken points out that, culturally speaking, we've advanced in some ways:
"You know what really transcends the age and gender demographic it was designed for? My Little Pony."
What confusing sentences can you write?

-- I know, it's an old one, but entirely true!
"everyone/everything is on the internet"
"I'm surfing on my mobile"
"Yeah, I've got the latest episode of Game of Thrones on my phone."
Heck, anything that has to do with smartphones or tablets. If you had told me 20 years ago that my phone would be a powerful platform for computing and entertainment, I would have thought you were crazy.
And now, sadly, rather than being inspired to do something similarly creative on their own, thousands of people will copy that exact idea over and over until it becomes trite, annoying, uncool, and counter-productive.
"Joe, I still need that $2500 you owe me."

This got me a job within a week's time. Of course being savvy on the net does not mean your savvy during your interview.
Now, all I do is recommend that people looking for work use social media and whatnot. Way faster and significantly more fun!
