There's a collective undercurrent of panic that's causing people to shift out of complacency and feel as though it is "now or never". Have we reached this point before in history for other reasons? Yes, but here we are again. It's one big loop with the only thing changing being the cause of our shift.
Also i see money as falling on many people's list as the #1 priority. With people losing fortunes overnight people are starting to realize that maybe chasing after money at the expense of all else is like a dog chasing its tail. Priorities are being rewritten and people across the world aren't putting up with crap anymore. |
What I'm seeing is that technology is becoming an effortless extension of our lives. It's not that it distracts - it's that it has become a natural part of *us*.
Facebook has actually been a great thing, for me, at least. And this board!!
And having email and such on my smartphone has actually saved me time and gotten me more into the real world, instead of being tied to my computer all day.
