The most recent studies indicate that artificial sweeteners actually cause weigh gain, so it seems very harsh.
Some studies disagree. No study has disproven the current accepted theory that weight change is calories consumed - calories expended, and artificial sweetners have few or no calories.
Many movies and every “There’s Company” episode ever made would have been rendered plotless and pointless in today’s cellphone era - is Jack Tripper on a date with a foxy blonde lady at the Regal Beagle and his other love interest is on the way to make a scene? No need for Chrissy and Janet to have wacky adventures whilst racing to the Beagle to warn Jack! Just call him!
Oh, here’s one. Romantic comedies where our hero runs past airport security at the airport so that he can profess his love before she boards the plane. (or, sometimes, he even gets on the plane for this scene)
If you try to run past airport security these days, much less board a plane without a boarding pass…yeah that won’t end well.
Just send her a text professing your love. And then she’ll just look at it, then block you as a contact. How romantic.
I have one from real life: in about 2002, the company I worked for installed a DGM 10-tower press with two folders that had individual motors on each of its 36 units as well as each of the folders. Image registration could be adjusted by changing the timing on the units as opposed to adjusting web leads as was done on the old press, and there were cameras at the tops of the towers for capturing register marks to a screen on the console.
This modern machine ran on a MS-DOS-based system on a 3.5" floppy. I mean, I can understand the DOS part, given that it can be a very low overhead OS, but my god, a floppy in 2002? It just seemed absurd at the time.
I just read Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s Breakfast of Champion over the last couple days. Released in 1973.
Lots of stuff: E.g., one character is worried that he would be outed as a transvestite and be sent to a mental hospital. Another was gay and was excluded from the draft, being sent to Vietnam. Most people didn’t call mirrors “leaks”. 
(I think this may have been the first hardbound novel I ever bought.)
Huh?
I have to swipe a card to get into my workplace every day.
Woody Allen’s Sleeper is a festival of miscast future.
Yeah, but mine is Retro!
Not really. Just old and I have a spare.
Yeah, me too. Plus an iris scan to actually get into the datacenter. It’s certainly not state of the art, but it’s not completely obsolete yet.
A bit of the reverse. I always assumed as a kid that westerns were all pre-automobile. But Roy Rogers and Dale Evans had a Ford woody wagon on their ranch.
Ah, one of those old-fashioned, retro iris scanners. That takes me back.
The Worst part is the the voice command “please center your eyes…in the mirror” etc, totally sounds like my mom.
Context: that phone was sent to him by Steve Rogers for the sole purpose of contacting each other in an emergency. It was a cheap “burner” phone Cap probably bought on a street corner somewhere. You can still find plenty of phones like that around; they cost virtually pennies.
Everything written from 2001 to about 2012 which depicted the mainstream media as government/corporate propaganda and that we shouldn’t trust the information of CNN and the like.
I take it you haven’t read the works of the world famous author Kilgore Trout. 
I watched two episodes of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood with my kids over the weekend and as one might expect; it’s a little dated. On the first episode we watched, he called a neighbor on his corded phone. So I had to explain to my 2 and 4 year old kids that this is what phones* used to look like.
Then on the second episode that we watched, Mr. Rogers built a pretend TV out of a cardboard box and then taped 3 bottle caps on it as knobs. Again I had to explain, this is what TV’s used to look like and that there were no remote controls or buttons. Later in the episode they were discussing this amazing piece of new technology called a Fax Machine.
*this also reminds me of something that happened a few months ago. We were in the car and my 4 year old asked what something was as he frequently does; so I asked if he was referring to something that was on the “telephone pole”. Which was met with the question, “What’s a Telephone?” So I had to explain that he knows them as simply “phones” or “cell phones”; we used to called them telephones.
