RE: Humanity & The Impasse Of Technological Advancement.

Unfortunately there will always be generational conflict when it comes to adopting new technology and ways of doing things. What will be interesting to watch from here though is how that changes due to the fact that technology is advancing much more rapidly now that it was before. It's exponential. Meaning that if you are younger or up to date with tech right now it will be easier to keep up because you are used to the pace of change rather than it feeling so drastic.

Well true. Being younger and experiencing this exponential change makes it even easier. Being an older generation makes it harder because coping and adjusting to the speed of change is what the newer generation knows how to do better
Exactly. I think how about my father went from using the typewriter in school to now having a smartphone capable of pulling up any information you need and it seems wild. My tech journey started with the beginning of the internet so in a way I feel as though I've grown up with it.
Exactly, sometimes, it'll seem almost unreal and unbelievable for your father, but the thing is that, if he understands that advancements are happening at an unbelievable pace, it'll help him get into that frame of mind
Amazing. I was here when the internet was just text in Nigeria. It's been a long time now
Its also very interesting how different the evolution of the internet happened in every country. Would love to hear more about your experience!
Thank you, I'll be writing more on them very soon. Thanks for always coming through
