Do we really still have the society wide institutional knowledge to do things how they were done 50 years ago? I wouldn't be so sure.

- squigz 1y agoMate, 50 years wasn't that long ago. We had computers and everything else we have now. We still did a lot of things fundamentally the same way. Everything was just slower and smaller (in scale; not physically) I think you also should realize much of the world continues on without bleeding-edge technology - homes are still built, crops are still harvested, and the world goes on.
