Wasn’t their a best selling book way back with that title? Future Shock.
Maybe it talked how everything in the future will be run by computers, everything in our lives would keep changing at a fast rate.
Self driving cars, cameras recording everything, retail stores gone. We become introverted with electronics.
Maybe it’s arrived. No, not maybe.
I’m using Amazon Prime by default for the simplest things.
Couldn’t find our pets favorite brand pet food in 20 lb bags at several places so I ordered it late last night and it was just delivered free at 5:01 AM.
The wife ain’t musclefucking 65lb bags of pet food even if ya get 15 lbs free. No place to store it at Crankshaft Manor anyway. Floor jacks take up too much space.
Remember Angie of My Mans Sporting Wood?
Angie guided me through picking out my wife’s Wedding Ring online and I think that was my first big ticket purchase on the net.
Come a long way since.
To our youngest child it’s all they’ve ever known.
I remember as a kid seeing Dr Williams walk up to the neighbors house one morning. A housecall. The Millers picked up intestinal parasites from fertilizing their vegetable garden with dog shit.
I remember having milk and butter delivered to your house was the norm. Carnation, Arden, Knudsen milk trucks buzzing the neighborhood. Grocery stores didn’t stock it then.
Saw a milk man just this morning. White 7 point hat and all.
It’s gone full circle.
