How about spoilers?

Nntendo Switch,. YouTube Shorts., GoComics…

Check out this screenshot of a popular video game called “Beneathstory”.

Better cell phones with better cameras. Apple watch. Tesla. Gallagher’s Sledge-O-Matic.

I’d have thought that she would think of smartphones, considering how much time she spends with it.

Possibly a problem with reruns: she can’t think of the things invented since the story arc first ran.

Flat screen TV’s several feet wide, movies and music stored on a carry-anywhere chip the size of your thumbnail (MicroSD), pocket super computers that we mindlessly call “smartphones”, video games with near photo-realistic game play (he should love that last one), A worldwide communication and information network (the world wide web), electric cars (still working on perfecting that one) …

Jet packs?

It is interesting to note now that it is nearly twenty-five years since we were celebrating the New Millennium.

Stuffed crust pizza?

Deep fakes.

You have come across a great and rare gift, Phoebe: To know what you do not know.

Hey… Did George Lucas ever get around to doing those prequels? He did? I bet they’re AWESOME!

Did they have motion-based video games in the 90s too?
