I think I live in the 1990's still. > we no longer have to worry about our car windows being smashed to steal our radios, or our GPSes I've had friends' cars broken into this way in the recent past. Not for radios, perhaps, but for anything else left in the car. > car security alarms no longer go off endlessly in parking lots They do in Seattle. It's a rare day I don't hear at least a few minutes of car alarm, several times a day. > all cars have electrified power windows; I don’t remember the last time I had to physically crank down a car window Not that rare. I last drove one a week or two ago. > radio stations have minimal static Depends on the station, of course. A couple of the stations I listen to can be anywhere from "sounds great" to "can't make out a word", depending on weather, and which side of the hill I'm on. > TVs no longer have rabbit ears that require regular adjustment Now we have HDTV antennas which require adjustment. When the signal is bad, instead of a fuzzy picture that's still somewhat watchable, you get a broken frame every couple seconds.
