Or at the very least less common attachment because they grew up outside of a monoculture.
Yeah, whoever is benefiting from those changes is probably counting on it
That’s why education and reading books that disagree with your life, culture and understanding can be very beneficial
I’m not sure. Maybe they get more attached because they hvae trouble coping with the speed of the change.
Nostalgia’s never as good as it used to be.
Things aren’t changing faster tho…
Like we get incremental changes, but what’s been groundbreaking?
20 years ago most people had cellphones, laptops, and social media. Now peoples phones are basically laptops, and kids use apps more than programs/websites.
But it’s nothing as “brand new” as cellphones or the internet. Even the chatbots that pretend to be real AI isn’t that different from googles free 411 service or AIM bots.
I’m curious if you can give any example that isn’t hype
The changes in technology from 1984 to 2004 is mind boggling fast when compared to the minimal changes between 2004 to 2024
You’d have to go pretty far back to see things change slower over 20 years than 04-24.
I think OP is just confusing hype for reality, or just isn’t old enough to know what it was like more than a decade ago.
It’s the only way their post makes sense, and if they aren’t going to clarify that’s what we have to assume
You may be looking at the wrong things then:
- While SSDs have been around for a while, they have only been commercially viable (for both home and enterprise use) for maybe 10-15 years.
- Today, even a 300 dollar desktop 3d printer (especially a resin printer) will beat even the best industrial printers from just a decade ago.
- For less than 50 bucks per month I can get an internet connection at home that’s 16000 times faster than what I had in 2004. Back then, I had to wait minutes to load a single photo, today I can stream three dozen 4k videos at once and still have bandwidth to spare.
- The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated vaccine research a lot. We finally got mRNA vaccines to work and are now applying them to other diseases as well.
- Ten years ago, the idea of fully reusing rockets was laughed at. The first time a first stage was reused was in 2017. Today, most new rocket designs are planned as fully or at least mostly reusable.+
- First mass market VR headsets came out in 2012. We are are just now at a point where untethered headsets are reaching usable resolution and framerate. New headsets add features like eye tracking, finger tracking, external cameras for augmented reality…
And so on…
Ten years ago the falcon 9 was running flights to the ISS. 9 years ago was the first successful booster landing.
Things aren’t built to last as long. I currently use the Calphalon cooking pots that my parents got as a wedding present in the 70s. I’m told it’s normal to replace pots and pans about every 4 years now.
Growing up we had a large bathroom rug with an interesting pattern on it. I stared at that weird pattern while on the toilet from ages potty trained to moved away for college and returned home for holidays and summer time. I’ve got a bathroom rug that I bought five years ago and it’s starting to unravel and I’m pretty upset about this.
I think that this is entirely dependent on the amount of money you’re willing to expend. I’m sure that you can buy things that are much better or at least as well built as their counterparts from the past.
Where can I find this modern day 25-year-bathroom-rug?
Oh I’m sure you can get one at some fancy furniture store. It will cost you about as much as half a year of food but in theory, you can get one.
Really? Where? Give me a link. I’ll. I’ll buy it right now.
Commenting so i come back to this later. I wanna know too.
