What two adjacent decades are the most different when juxtaposed against each other?

ReWatching old episodes of Seinfeld after not watching for probably 10 years or so. The situational humor is still hilarious, but makes me think...so much of it is completely unrelatable to young people today.

Was the change from the 90s to the 00s the biggest shift? Or maybe 00s to the present?

Think back to the 90s
Cable, pay phones, long distance, corded phones.

Things were so much more grounded, connected, literally, to our tech. Almost Everything had cords, you were on the schedule of giant networks. We learned to just live with commercials, It became a part of the culture even. Saturday morning cartoons, basically an hours long advertisement for sugary cereal and toys. Now we try to escape the ads however we can, insidious as they are.

And now...the wealth of all collected human knowledge, at our fingertips.
I remember encyclopedias

Instantaneous communication across the globe.
I remember Pen Pals

Every map imaginable available to be manipulated to any scale.
I still remember giant atlases folded out across the station wagon, using a ruler and calculator to figure out the trip time.




There have been dramatic shifts before, but has there ever been such a dynamic game changer as the smart phone?

Maube the change between the 1890s and 1900s?



Between the 70s and the 80s, when electronic culture really began to have a measurable impact on society?


The 1910s to the 20s, which saw the world learning new ways to wield deadly technology?






What do you think?
