…that were predicted around the first half of the 20th century:

Oh, how everyone laughed at the utter ridiculousness.

And about time, too. Apparently, some old guy took offense at a younger man’s refusal to stand up during the national anthem at Wrigley Field, and when the little asshole refused to get to his feet, Our Hero gave him a quick clip to the back of the head.
Yeah, yeah, First Amendment rights were violated etc. etc. I don’t care, and nor should anyone else.
Lesson for the punk kid. If you didn’t want to stand during the anthem’s singing — and I’ll leave it to y’all to judge the quality of the performance thereof, a topic for another time — all you had to do was stay out of the stadium (e.g. while buying a beer and/or hot dog) and not be a dick.
As for Our Hero: good on you, Gramps. We need a lot more of this activity, because FFS somebody’s got to do it.
Note: the smack on the head got the little shit to stand up, and nobody in the immediate area came to his defense either. Which is also as it should be.

…that were shocking back then, but aren’t nowadays:

2. Women getting tattoos

(pic from 1940)
3. Interracial couples

And three things that weren’t shocking back then, but are nowadays:
1. Candy cigarettes

2. Fewer safety regulations

3. Letting kids play outside, unsupervised

Okay, this is really funny.
Let’s give a round of applause to Russian military training and their equipment.
