20210626 : Next Gen
I was chatting this morning with my friend about the world of no mobiles and how its unthinkable now. It got me thinking a bit further on the topic... I guess every generation has seen this happen. I'm sure we've had some version of a conversation where someone has told us what all they could buy with 4 annas. And i suppose at some point we've told some device attached kid on how we didnt have any of it. Even TVs. So, it got me wondering, are the next generation better off or worse off? I guess everyone has adapted/ adjusted to the changing world and done ok. However, I can't help but think of the rate of change. When the steam engine or the light bulb was invented, it was a new world. But i guess it lasted a century so a few generations to get adjusted to it before the next big thing hit them. The amount of world impacting things that we have created in the last 20 odd years, mobiles, tablets, email communication, chats, online everything, streaming on demand anything,
