Some of us have a rather more compressed family experience of the bewildering technological changes of modernity. My father was himself born in a farmhouse with neither central heating nor running water, and died a mere 7 years ago, having had a career in computer science for the better part of 40 years as an electrical engineer beginning in the mid-60s. It's kind of ridiculous when you think how much changed just in his own lifetime alone. And then I sometimes marvel that my grandfather in turn was born into circumstances probably not terribly unrecognizable to all of the generations of my forebears since the Neolithic era.
