Originally it was going to be “over the last twenty years” but I decided to be more flexible.

A lot of discussions about how society has changed or how the world is different always circle around to smartphones, social media, “no one talks to each other in person, they’re on their phones always” and the like.

Outside of those topics, what else has changed, by your perception?

    4 things

    1. People are getting lonelier and lonelier, even if we have the technoloogy, we keep getting further apart, it takes weeks to make time to see someone. So here I am, travelling alone…

    2. The attention span

    3. The willingness to actually do some legwork, laziness, or conformity.

    4. This will not sound nice: people getting dumber. There. I said it.

    my 4 cents
