> 30 years ago was 1990. What’s happened since then? The Internet and smartphones, mostly. This is glossing over things that have changed _thanks_ to these new technologies. A lot of things that used to be niches and counter-culture in the 90s (and poised to stay as such) have been accelerated thanks to the radically different way we can communicate. The way we consume and trust our news, and by consequence the way that we build our world-view and by extension the way we build our tribal bonds and perceive our identities has been profoundly influenced by these two little words, internet and smartphones. And we're just at the beginning.
