If Buffy The Vampire Slayer was on TV today.
The Tinder gag is inspired.

24. Spike would have a DVD of The Notebook stashed away in his crypt.

One of the defining features of Buffy was that it didn't just copy popular culture, it created it. It had pop culture references, but it also made up it's own slang for Buffy and her friends. My first reaction to seeing "Kim Possible" was, "Why is she using Buffy-speak?" That's how distinctive the show's style was.
So even though this article has some good jokes, I think that Buffy today would rely less on the trends of the moment and more on creating its own stuff, just like it did originally.

That guy selling white boards on the street for insane prices would definitely not get rich since everyone would just use their phones. You could make a good parody though since you could argue that Hush in 2016 would actually have no effect at all since everyone is always texting anyway. :D

I'd love to see that parody. The Gentlemen would have to resort to doing the opposite and stop people from silently communicating.
