Seriously though, we've lived through a hell of a lot of change. Arguably more than other generations. I've gone from having a rotary phone to having the world's knowledge in my pocket in 40 years. And we've mostly embraced it all along the way.
The only constant is change.
Even for us younger millenials, we saw the rise and fall of the early internet, the beginnings of social media, grew up with flash games in our browsers, and now we've got these Star Trek-like folding smartphones and checks notes smart sunglasses?
Like you, I'm happy to keep adapting. Hell I'll go full cyborg if that becomes a decent option in my lifetime.
Speaking of having the world's knowledge in your pocket, did you know you can download a local copy of Wikipedia? Check out Kiwix. English Wikipedia with images is only like 80GB. Something to read when you've got no signal.
