My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We’re in our early 40s.

    but it feels like the rate at which things change is increasing significantly.

    Maybe, but it’s not like the previous generation didn’t have massive technological change in their lives.

    My parents grew up on small farms. Their “school van” was horse drawn.

    It was the rare wealthy neighbor who had moved from horse power to having a steam tractor when they were teenagers.

    When they were in their 30s they watched men fly to the moon on TV sets that weren’t invented yet when they were born.

    They both had smartphones in the last years before alzhimers started to steal them from us.
