- scott_s 12y agoBased on the content of the article, and you language you used, I assumed you were wondering if it really was hard for most people to imagine the impact of things like Facebook, Reddit, smartphones and the internet. Not that there was a small number of people who did, but most people. And for all of those technologies, I think the answer is, yes, it was hard for most people.
