What big, obscure mystery today will be commonplace in a couple of decades?

While it is amusing to hear them talking about the Internet then, you’re right, what head-scratchers for us now will be common place nearly twenty years from now. I’m sure we’ll adjust fine. Even may parents are pretty “hip” on technology now.
