3) Apps
4) AARP cards: the boomers are hitting 50
5) Aging: people dressing younger and younger
6) Blog

9) Cable (we actually have the bunny ears right now - go figure)
10) Cameras: no more developing film
11) Celebrity Culture: the growing obsession with their lives and TMZ

13) Chefs: on TV
14) Connectivity: wirelessly
15) Cougars: women dating younger men

29) Instant Gratification
30) iPODS
31) Life Coaches
32) Musicals on the big screen
33) Netflix

37) Recession Chic (fashion skewed to more severe style)
38) Retro Chic
39) Sexting
40) Starbucks
41) Tattoos
42) Texting

44) Tween Culture
45) Twitter
46) Uggs: the fur lined snowboot frenzy
47) Wii (we finally got one for Christmas)
