I found a cute little Bluey Bucket at this Halloween Store, which is now Polly's new Tadpole bucket.
20 years ago this week, on September 14, ABC Kids premiered to replace Disney’s One Saturday Morning.
The block of animated and live-action shows featured Even Stevens, Lizzie McGuire, Recess, and The Proud Family from its predecessor, new animated shows (such as Fillmore!, Lilo & Stitch: The Series, Teamo Supremo), and newer Disney Channel hits (like The Suite Life of Zack & Code and That’s So Raven).
The five-hour morning program aired every Saturday for nine years and ended in 2011.
Ever thought about when Kim and Ron graduated they’ll spend their freshman year of college in 2007? You know when social media and smartphones began to gain traction? Would Kim consider it? I could see Ron getting a smartphone and trying to become a social influencer.
Kim and Ron would most likely go to a tri-city university in between the triangle of Middleton,Upperton,Lowerton within Colorado to start their Freshmen semester in the Fall semester of 2006 after Season 4.
The Kim Possible 2002 world is obviously a very different world than ours with an alternate human history, being way more technologically advanced, having magic,everyone having a certain degree of cartoon powers that everyone normally takes for granted (think Ed, Edd, n' Eddy), aliens, ghosts/having a proven afterlife, etc and being uptopic-leaning like most Disney fictional IP properties compared to our...dystopic-leaning world.
But since cellphones were already gaining traction in Kim Possible in 2002 as far back as Season 1 then I'm not surprised social media and smartphones would someday probably catch on since Wade is a supergenius who was mentioned in Season 1 to have worked as a contractor for an aviation company and for the US government in Season 2, so since he is such a big proponent of science he would predictably share his technology someday about the first smartphone ever made in that world=The Kimmunicator!.
Yes that's right, this mean Kim's Kimmunicator was already a smartphone that she had for years already (and sometimes shared it with Ron) and it's even more ahead of it's time than smartphones in our world in 2022, like by a 100 years!, just check it what it can do:
"...given the compact nature of the modern cellular phone, but it is a marvel of miniaturization given all it can do beyond simple communication. In addition to the usual smartphone options, it has world-wide satellite connectivity, two-way video, serves as a sensor device, a jamming frequency generator, a camera, a scanner, and has several self-mobility functions. These include wheels, skis, and the ability to fly on its own...It is powered by a trilithium power cell, an advanced super-battery that can carry enough charge to power much larger devices. This battery lasted almost three years before needing to be replaced, under even the extreme abuses to which it was subjected" (The Disney Wiki, 2012).
So yes I would imagine that they would both totally consider integrating smartphones into their casual, daily lives too. And @princess-unipeg your on to something about Ron being a trendsetter!. I could see Kim, Ron and Rufus showing off themselves as superheroes on social media like positive role-models, a great example of this is something Buttercup did in "The Powerpuff Girls 2016" like from this video clip when she shows off her crimefighting online on a Youtube-esque version of social media called "SuperCut" from Season 3 episode 10 ("Blundercup"):
But as for Drakken/Shego, Duff Kiligan, Monkey Fist, and the other villains, can you imagine them teaming up with social media using their smartphones?. It would make the villains much more harder/coordinated working together as teams during missions with such technology, so it definitely would increase the difficulty of the missions that Team Possible would face against them theoretically. Really interesting idea!
Now with everything taken into consideration and judging from how technologically advanced their world is, smartphones wouldn't have too much of a radical effect like it did to our world. Now if you look at another example "Hey Arnold: Jungle Movie" from 2017, this is a world WAY more similar/copy-paste to our less-technologically advanced world with most of the show taking place in the 90's of course, but taking into consideration that most of the characters didn't have smartphones in that show, but when they were released in that 2nd TV movie we could see a greater impact, like with Rhonda Lloyd:

Do you know what year Kim and Ron graduated in-universe?
Yes, it was the year of 2006!.
The reason why Kim and Ron graduated in actually the Class of 2006 and not the Class of 2007 and I don’t care 0% regardless if there was or was not a stupid sign somewhere in the Season 4 finale that said “Class of 2007″ even though if the writers accidentally put that in there then I now kindly argue that would be an illogical goof because of all the following scientific evidence! ⚗️ 🔬 🧪 :
2005/2006 is Kim Possible’s Senior year in season 4. I also would like to mention that since both Kim and Ron get their DMV learner’s permits in Driver’s Ed (you have to be 14 yrs old to qualify) previously in that early Season 2 episode 5 (“Car Trouble”) as Freshmen with that year still being 2002, that thus logically both of them were actually born in 1988. Ron Stoppable’s birthday was revealed to be between August 23-September 22 because he mentioned his zodiac sign was Virgo in Season 2 episode 4 (“The Ron Factor”), so he and Kim would both end up being 17 when they graduated in May 2006 in the Season 4 finale (“Graduation pt1-2″).
2004/2005 is Kim Possible’s Junior year during Season 3 from episode 6 (“Dimension Twist”) all the way up to the Season 3 finale (2nd TV movie: “So the Drama”).
Also, in Season 2 episode 28 (“Ron Millionaire”), Ron gets a check with a date of October 1, 2003 with this episode taking place almost a year after the Season 2 episode 16 (“A Very Possible Christmas”) .
Again, Sophomore year ends after Season 3 episode 4 (“Bad Boy”) because Season 3 episode 5 (“Showdown at the Crooked D”) shows their summer vacation, thus this signifies the end of their Sophomore year and them entering their Junior year. I know, in every episode intro from S1-S3 you may notice they mention Kim being a Sophomore, but I disagree with this as its illogical and I think it's just a goof, just like with the other goof in Season 3 episode 6 (“Dimension Twist”) when they incorrectly refer to Season 1 episode 20 (“Ron the Man”) as taking place a year ago, when in reality it was two years because at that point in time in Season 3 both Kim and Ron were already in their Junior year. Furthermore, in both Season 3 episode 11 (“Rappin’ Drakken”) and Season 3 episode 13 (“Gorilla Fist”) when Kim and Ron are in Junior year at the time, Ron references two separate events of Season 2 taking place a year ago, thus implicitly referencing their previous Sophomore school year.
2003/2004 is Kim Possible’s Sophomore year during Season 2 from the 1st TV movie (“Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time” ) all the way up to Season 3 episode 4 (“Bad Boy”) because of summer vacation in Joss’s next episode (“Showdown at the Crooked D”), thus their second school highschool year has ended.
2002/2003 is Kim Possible’s Freshmen year during Season 1 and including up to the Season 2 episode 16 (“A Very Possible Christmas”) but not Season 2 episodes 13-15 (1st TV movie: “Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time”). Season 2 episodes 13-15 makes sense chronologically only if it takes place after the events of Season 2 episode 16 (“A Very Possible Christmas”) since the last episode featuring their Freshmen year is during the Christmas special, while afterward Season 2 episodes 13-15 takes place in the next school year because they start their first day of school for the next grade (Sophomore year) in the 1st TV movie, “Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time”.
