i’m talking about the mundane stuff, like how we still carry around a bunch of plastic cards or wait for water to boil in a kettle instead of instantly. or maybe just our collective obsession with short form video? keen to hear what makes you shake your head thinking about the future.
Thanks for sharing. I haven’t followed it as closely, but I understand the latest research suggests that any amount of alcohol isn’t really worth it. Similar to tobacco, how it was pretty much a given for one age, my generation grew up hearing about all the negatives.
Factor on top of that young people aren’t primarily socializing in drinking spaces anymore. Between COVID shutting that down for a while, and people having less money, there’s less reason to go out and get smashed.
I personally still enjoy a drink once in a while, but it’s not something I’d terribly mind seeing disappear, especially for how destructive it can be.
