Saw an interesting article over on Bloomberg about how attitudes change and it asks an interesting question; what do we take for granted today that, in 20 years will be seen as reprehensible? Some of the responses given are pretty obvious (environmental degradation, nuclear power, fossil fuels, eating meat etc etc) - but others are more interesting: high-heel shoes (surely these will go the way of the corset or the chinese practice of feet-binding?), having a car of your own (a colossal waste of time and money!) or even something as 'owning a front lawn' (with all the water it takes to own it!)

So, interesting
