MODERATORS
I was born in the early 80s. Things HAVE changed big time. A lot of things that we do not see on a daily basis that have changed majorly. Medical tech is one. most people do not work in the medical field and do not pay much attention to it (I am one of them!) but the sheer amount of stuff that has changed in medicine is staggering.
Like transportation hasn't changed though. It's all update to function exactly the same.
Not everything has stayed the same but a few things of our daily lives that we thought were going to be more extravagant or technology driven aren't and now some of the things that have technologocal advances we wonder why the fuck they need them, like toasters. Why the fuck does a toaster need Bluetooth?
