So what do you think will be the next huge craze, that the populace will flock to?

Asked by SQUEEKY2 (23475points) April 13th, 2015

And do you think whatever it will be will top Facebook, or Texting?
I for one have never been swept up in these crazes that seem to rock peoples world, so that is why I am asking.

I’m still waiting for those hoverboards that Back to the Future promised us. Those would catch on like wildfire!

Voting for a democrat….”because they aren’t republican” seems to be a popular bandwagon.

I would have hoped 15 years ago the 4 day work week would be trending, but I’ve begun to give up on that.

@cheebdragon I have a relative who does that who was a Republican for 40 years (the majority of his adult life). None of my family members who have always been Democrats think that way.

@fluthernutter took my steam…I was going to say that I wouldn’t hazard a guess because I’m so far behind the times the invention would probably already be a reality.

Think a 2×2 block that can reform itself into a full sized tool currently available in a multi-tool. Or a motor and a 6 inch cube of bots that can re-form into a multi-function appliance.
