For a decade of advancement, your examples are very weak. Compare 1970->1980 or 1980->1990 for the change in everyday technology! I had an mp3 player in 2000.

For a decade of advancement, your examples are very weak. Compare 1970->1980 or 1980->1990 for the change in everyday technology! I had an mp3 player in 2000. Creative released a 6GB hard drive based player in 2000 with which you'd still do fine today. It was Napster's heyday. I had a cable connection very capable of delivering video on the internet. Sure, the majority of streaming was porn sites, but the capability was there. I was using Google then, like I am now. The Startac was released in 1996. By 2000 there were many LCD phones, and the BlackBerry was available. I don't see how a tech-savvy person could not have lived a very similar life in 2000. Look at 1990 with no graphical internet (for instance) and qualitatively less computer capability, and there really isn't any comparison in rate of change.
