So now, it’s time to learn more about their fascinating stories and discover why they remain such treasured staples in our lives today.
#1. A Good Night’s Sleep
A good night’s sleep is becoming exceptionally scarce in the modern day.
The need to work more and do more often trumps sleep, leaving people exhausted in their daily lives and unable to catch up on the z’s they need.
A good night’s sleep is something everyone will enjoy when they can get it, regardless of whether it’s now or long in the future.
#2. Freedom
While it seems many people today are beginning to take freedom for granted, many others cherish the fact that we live in a free society.
It’s unimaginable to not be able to live your daily life as you do now, but sadly many people around the world don’t have the luxury of freedom.
#3. Warm Bread
There is just something about warm, soft bread that is irresistible to most people.
Even on a low-carb diet, they will still think twice about having a piece.
#4. Ice Cream
Food is shared from generation to generation, so it only stands to reason that people in the future will continue to like the things that have been passed down to them.
An excellent example of this is ice cream.
Ice cream is a treat enjoyed everywhere, especially during hot summers when people need something to cool them down.
From pints of delicious chocolate to fruit-flavored popsicles, there’s a lot to enjoy about ice cream.
Of course, we always have new inventions in this department, with things hitting the shelves, like ice cream made from oats or almond milk.
#5. Pizza
Pizza is delicious, and it’s something that nearly everyone enjoys.
Whether you’re a meat lover who likes to sprinkle sausage and pepperoni all over your pizza, a vegetable lover who enjoys mushrooms and bell peppers, or even someone who wants to switch things up and enjoy some anchovies on your pizza, there’s something out there for literally everyone.
And, as the industry changes and innovations are made, who knows what the future of pizza holds that might make pizza lovers enjoy it even more?
#6. Hugs
Showing affection towards animals isn’t the only thing modern people love, and those in the future will likely need it.
We also need to show affection towards each other.
There are plenty of ways we do this, but among some of the favorite ways is hugs.
Hugs are one of the most comforting forms of physical affection, helping us feel more secure when connecting with someone we truly admire and enjoy spending time with.
There’s really no limit on hugs, and everyone hugs differently, putting their own spin on physical connection.
If there’s anything that won’t go away any time soon, it’s definitely hugging.
#7. Being Able to Use Your Own Bathroom
Public bathrooms are essential to have around if you need to go whenever you’re out and about, whether you’re shopping or somewhere specific, like at the movies.
But most people don’t feel as comfortable in public restrooms as in their own bathroom.
They don’t offer the same level of privacy and familiarity, and they don’t have all the amenities that you’re used to at home.
While there may be a few people who enjoy public restrooms, most people now and later will prefer to use their own bathroom when nature strikes.
#8. Music
Music is a universal experience that brings people together.
No matter the genre, people feel through music.
While the styles may change and likes and dislikes shift over time, people will like music as long as new music is produced.
Some people may even experience some overlap in what they like, with certain bands or genres being adored by a host of people long after the artists have stopped singing (think classic jazz, classical music, or even famous rock bands who have had a significant impact on pop culture).
#9. Pets
Pets are more than just companions.
They can help us battle loneliness, better cope with stress and other mental health obstacles, and make life easier to navigate.
There are also many types of pets to love, from common pets like dogs and cats to other pets like fish, frogs, and turtles.
As long as people can keep pets in any form, they will continue showering these affectionate animals with gifts and love for as long as possible.
#10. Naps
Sometimes, sleep just doesn’t cut it.
You’ve had an exhausting day or didn’t get enough sleep last night.
That’s where naps come in.
Not everyone likes naps, but those who do swear by them.
Most of the time, naps can help someone feel recharged and rejuvenated, giving them the mental energy they need to continue through the day.
If things stay as busy as they are currently and people need to recharge in the future, napping will continue to be a beloved activity well beyond today.
Who knows?
It might be something that becomes deeply ingrained in our culture.
#11. Money
If you want to cover your basic needs in life, you need to have some money.
And if you want more than the basics, you need money.
As a result, money is something everyone will always love.
#12. Chocolate
Chocolate is delicious and mood-boosting, making it the perfect snack for whenever you need to feel uplifted or even want to take advantage of some of its health benefits.
It’s something we love as children and are introduced to very early, mainly because it’s found in a wide range of snacks and focuses on certain holidays like Halloween or Valentine’s Day.
Fifty years from now, chocolate will still be a beloved treat that people will enjoy regardless of season or the reason.
#13. Hating on the Next Generation
From the beginning of time until now, it’s been common for the previous generation to criticize the next generation for whatever habits or behaviors they find unsavory.
In fact, Socrates himself said:
“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”
No matter what generation it is, they will find a way to hate on the next generation.
#14. Loving Others
It’s human nature to love others.
Even when you are mad at a person, with time, most people are able to forgive.
And even those that don’t, still have love for that person deep down, even if they won’t admit it.
#15. Coffee
What would life be like without coffee? It’s safe to say that this beloved drink has been around for centuries and is a staple in many cultures.
Not only does it give us the energy we need throughout the day, but it also provides an opportunity to relax and savor every sip.
#16. Jeans
Jeans have been around since the 1800s and are a true classic.
They can be dressed up or down, making them incredibly versatile for any occasion.
Plus, they come in countless styles, colors, and fits, so you’re sure to find the perfect pair!
