Dear Soc,
I’m tempted to write “the more things change the more things stay the same.” I love history, and I like to take a year or decade, and then dissect it from a sociological/cultural standpoint. Today we have computers. The last generation had rockets. The generation before that airplanes and automobiles. Etc. Each preceding generation going back into history has something “new” which at first baffles and amazes them, then as soon as they get used to this, something else comes along.

So even though “things” change, in my opinion and from observation , the “world” doesn’t really.
