    We're in an age where our grandparents or great grandparents, people we had exposure to and spoke to, experienced the start of monumental technological advancement in a relatively short period of time. Cars, planes, phones, movies, photos. Consider how much of your life is centered around these advancements.

    hell, when i was a kid a mobile phone was the size of a housebrick, could only make calls, and only if you happened to be in one of the few places that had decent service
    now it's a tiny computer that fits in your pocket with more processing power than the best consumer PCs from 15 years ago

      Seriously, I'm under thirty and already I feel old due to how much rapid change I've seen in my lifetime.

      On the flip side, there's a lot of old stuff that is still super serviceable and useful and even nice. Like maybe we should go back in certain ways, and move forward in others.
