I'm almost there with you, the advent of the smart phone and social media are pretty big game changers. Maybe not for the better, but they do change the game.

    Yeah, I find it really foolish to say 2025 is not distinctly different from 2000. The ubiquity of smart phones has been fucking crazy.

    Hell, in 2000 I had teachers that wouldn't take printed reports because not everybody had access to a computer for their work even though I did. Kids these days will never know the finger cramping pain of doing 20 page, college ruled, hand written papers.

    Smartphones are basically magic at this point, especially the system on chip type devices.

    Computers had, and mostly still have, a bunch of discrete components you could identify, smartphones are a tiny magic box on a board, with everything else connected to it. The photos they take are amazing, too.
