Interesting analogy. I believe regarding addictiveness they may be compared.
> a shift of skills away from things that mattered more in the past toward other things that are not measured/perceived by the older generation.
Do you have any ideas what these things might be? As someone in his twenties, I’m sometimes saddened by observing that some of the skills I acquired over a long time (e.g., writing, coding) may become obsolete or won’t be respected anymore just now that I‘m finally getting good at them.

- hypfer 4mo agoNah. What you said there is just an extension of the elimination of friction that the silicon valley has been pursuing for the last 15+ years. But that is just.. well. Their business model. Not a force of nature.
- senorqa 4mo agoAges ago I had similar thoughts. Everything changed when I came to terms with the concept of change being the only constant. A bit of a cliché, perhaps, but profoundly true.
- chasd00 4mo agoit happens, things change and the change is only speeding up. I think the real skill to have going forward is the ability to acquire new skills. I tell my boys "get good at learning and you don't have to get good at anything else".
