I think if a person in 2000 woke up one day and 20 years had past, the world would still be pretty recognizable to them, even if some of the objects in it were novel. I'm not sure the same thing could be said about 1900 and 100 years.
- rayiner 3y agoIn 1900, almost one out of four kids died before the age of 5 in the U.S. By 2000, it was 9 out of 1,000. In 2020, it was 7 out of 1,000. It was a society where virtually everyone experienced death from a young age. Today, most people don't experience the death of a close family member until well into adulthood.
