Re: Technology then and now
In the olden days, if you sent out an RSVP invitation through the mail
and received an acceptance, you could feel pretty sure that the person
was going
to attend. With Facebook
that's
often not the case: People are far more likely to indicate that they
will be coming, whether they've actually committed to it or not. Let's
just say if you're
planning something important and you want a definite head count, using
Facebook may not be the best way of getting it.Computers
One of the benefits of having a technology go mainstream is that the
cost of ownership for related products drops dramatically. Whereas you
used to
have to take out a small loan to buy a computer (and build a room to
house it in), now you can get a decent all-purpose machine for
less than $1,000.
Opinions
Back in the days when cars had distinct bumpers, people used to
plaster them with stickers that elaborated their views on controversial
subjects in a
few words. Today, Twitter
seems to
be the forum of choice for ranting, raving, and sharing
stream-of-consciousness insights. It may be great way to express
yourself, but it hardly guarantees
that what you express is great.
People Talking to Themselves
In the past if you approached lone pedestrians talking loudly and
gesturing emphatically, you would probably have given them and their
invisible friends
a wide berth. Now when you see people talking to themselves, you tend to
assume that they are using a Bluetooth headset.
Horror
People used to rent scary movies to satisfy their morbid curiosity or
their need for visceral shocks. In the Internet age, scary movies have
to compete
with the likes of 4Chan and the horrors it produces. Remember: What you
see, you cannot unsee.
