70: Pattern Recognition | |
| |
I don't imagine we'll ever break out of the pattern. I can see myself in the future when I get older not understanding whatever happens to be popular with the kids and saying alot of "back in my day" quotes. In fact, I'm already like that. | |
I might be going a little too doomsday with this statement. I think that the process is speeding up. I think that the increase in the rate of new technology is going to create new media platforms rapidly and the groups of people who make up a "generation" will become smaller and smaller. I will have trouble understanding the people born at the other end of my decade, much less the next one. I think eventually it will hit a limit where everything breaks down at once and people are forced to rethink things as a whole. | |
