        that was a particularly large one, but lots of people old enough at any given time will feel the world is changing and that it’s somehow dangerous.

        I agree, some of the time the changes are much larger than others, but there will always at any given time be people that feel this is true about their particular time.

      I think there are times when it is more relevant, e.g. initial change from a feudal/agrarian model to industrialization. By all accounts this was perhaps the biggest, most impactful change in human history.

      One could argue that we are now witnessing a similar transition with respect to the information age.

      At any rate, this was a somewhat glib statement on my part. :)
