And great depression thing ... and then the world war 2 thing ... and the Spanish flu and world war 1 only about a decade before.
You can imagine a future person looking at a video of someone with a fidget spinner and thinking "life really was easy back then."
Every generation has different luxuries and problems.
Guess you don't have to try hard to sell a product if people are addicted to it, be they cigarettes or fidget spinners.
Strangely enough, I almost never see fidget spinners anymore, and I work with kids. I do keep having to pick cigarette butts off the ground tho (not from the kids).
Some corp: "Nobody wants to smoke anymore."
