What everyday things we take for granted will our kids not get at all?

OK, so I'm doing a film course and when we use any of the editing software all the terminology is based off of the old way of doing things where you were physically performing tasks that you now just use a tool to do. It's got me thinking what terms, or actions that we don't really think about will our kids use without knowing why?

I mean you can see examples of it in things like Microsoft Word where the floppy disk is the icon to save, but seeing as floppys kind of died more than 15 years I wouldn't necessarily consider it a current example.

Saying "Two thousand eleven" instead of "twenty eleven." This is something unique to people living through the millennium. This subconscious fixation with the number "two-thousand" will not exist in those born decades from now.

No one even said "Nineteen hundred ninety nine." But suddenly the the millennium flips and here we are, still stuck with 2000 as if it was a mantra.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if people born several decades from now just said Twenty Oh One- etc.
