It is amazing how much progress was made in 40 years. This is why younger people really do not understand technological progress and the pace.
The world is completely different compared to the mid 1980s.

100 percent. They don't understand.
They think in such short time horizons.
Thinking 1 month / 1 year is a long time etc...
We are just entering the next big change and they act like nothing is changing.
I didn't even think about but you guys are right.... they don't know things are changing in a big way!
Few realize how much of a change there was between 1980 and 2000. The progress makes the time from 2000-2020 look minor.
You are right, we are in the next 20 year cycle where major changes are felt by society. Generative AI is just the starting point.
By 2040, we will not recognize 2020.
True, allthough I am not so sure the people are better off now... Life was quite a lot simpler back then.
Look at the global stats. Child morality rates...down. Those living in extreme povery...down. People killed in war....down.
So when you look at the basics, people are much better off than 40 years ago.
