Do we have more interesting things happening than before? And have these things more impact? I don't know. Remember you grandmother who saw a car for the fist time. Who found a box in her house with sounds coming out of a speaker. I think because more is happening you can handle more and you will have more capabilities to adapt to them. If this is true you will experience them as less interesting because there are so many. One thing that will have an influence is your age; if you are +/- 30 years you experience much more and realize what effects changes of the system can have on people and systems. ciao. kizito Yes, Indeed something I think about sometimes too.

A lot of these things we already see happening around us. Where did the traditional bank went to? Thanks to the ATM and Internet banking, modern banks are more like offices or even like cafes these days.
