being born in 88, i say the transformation greatly sped up after 2001, but it was evolving for a long, long time. the drastic change i was more speaking twords was less technological in nature, and more about the evolution of cities and the roads that connect them. much of the earth is covered in concrete or asphalt now, almost a bigger monument to history than that of the pyramids and other structures.

have you ever wondered, if we ripped up all the concrete and artificial stone on the earth, shaped it into blocks and built a pyramid, how massive would it be? because these things are flat.. i think its audacity gets overlooked
