I was talking with a friend recently about how most kids today have no idea what a landline phone is—or that it was the primary form of communication 30 years ago.
It got me thinking about what’s going to sound weird for kids 30-50 years from now (i.e., my grandkids).
They’ll probably think it was crazy how we used to drive cars and risk our lives every time we did so.
They’ll likely think its weird how we used to spend hours each day interacting with these little devices with 5 inches screens, instead of using our glasses, headsets, or contact lenses.
They’ll find it strange that we used to be a single-planet species.
It may feel like a distant future, but I think it’s going to arrive much faster and sooner than we expect.
