I was born on the cusp of change. Constant change, massive deformation of lives, almost nothing consistent from one day to the next. We reached out and stepped on another world. Inconceivable!
I can’t even imagine the weight of it. The blinding speed. For the greater part of human history, lives went on in the same way, from day to day, year to year, decade to decade, century to century. One lived in exactly the same way that one’s grandparents did, and their grandparents, too.
Now we have a generation that doesn’t even have an accurate idea of what their grandparents’ childhoods were like.
Humans. Who are we, and where are we going?
