An innovation in Wolvehamton would not be experienced in even Marathon and vice versa. Sometimes trade did import improvements, but it was not usually experienced by the majority of people. Things were expensive for 95% of the pop. In most instances change would have been slow. Occasionally you had major changes like a crossbow, or paper making. I think those changes were not the norm. Now, across the world, if you followed spots, you could retrospectively see changes, sure. But for a single person, no, not so much.

There’s big swaths of the world where you quite literally see a new empire taking over every few decades, from different peoples, different customs, different everything Couple that to the average lifetime being much shorter and you get the feeling that everything is always changing
