Reasons the Future May Suck...

... from Men's Health. These stood out to me:
  • When your buddy tells you another story about an epic night with a stunning woman, you won't know if he's conveniently omitting the fact he was wearing a virtual reality headset.
  • Genome editing. Guys with Donald Trump haircuts disappear, along with our mockery of them. Nobody explains a full head of hair anymore with "I have good genes." Now it's "My dad bought me a gene splicer."
  • Jetpacks are cool. But not when our news feeds fill up with headlines like "Another dumbass dies in jetpack selfie mishap."
  • Thanks to self-driving cars, using a steering wheel while fiddling with music, eating french fries, and holding a Coke without spilling it is now a useless and kind of stupid skill.
  • Clever new dating app, Cringe, transmits your horrified reaction to her profile photo instantly, and vice versa, bringing loneliness, alienation, and despair to depths unmatched in human history.
