I did have a discussion about free will and it regurgitated Philosophy 101 stuff back to me.

Actually, a lot of this stuff was predicted twenty years ago. Much longer than that, in fact. But it's really wild to see it happening.

Edit - to be clear, I used to read about stuff in popular mechanics magazine or whatever and then ten years later I'd see it being built, then years later hit the consumer market. Now, if I opened up Reddit and saw that we had warp technology and I could add it to my car for $100, I would be amazed but not totally surprised.

My father was born in 1930. I used to have conversations about how the world changed with his mother starting when she was little. Yeah, you really nailed it. Just in my own life, going from card catalogs at the library to Wikipedia ON MY PHONE THAT I WALK AROUND WITH is nuts. When I was a kid, if your needed info you didn't have, you were waiting until you got to a library, or whatever. Mail order took 6 - 8 weeks to arrive. Grocery stores had like two kinds of lettuce, etc.
