Sitting in the suburbs of the GTA (actually just outside of it) & with my degree coming to a close at the end of the year, I'm asking questions I didn't even know were issues a week ago. Reminded me of this excellent video that's been circulating since 2008.
If you haven't seen it, understandably because of the cave you've been living in for the past few years, I suggest you constantly ask yourself the question that is posed at the very end of the video. WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?
What does it all mean? Rhetorical obviously, but on a simplistic level, it means that change happens. It means that change happens even if we ourselves are not. Think of a moment when you were sitting in the back seat of a car stuck in traffic. The truck beside you starts to move forward giving the impression that you are moving backwards. This is precisely what happens when new technologies spread to the masses. Increasingly more people move forward with the traffic in front of them, while some, maybe it's even you, stay still. In fact, you feel like you're moving backwards. You know you're staying where you are.
In reality, you are moving backwards in relation to the people who are moving ahead. If you can't move forward in the car you're in, get out of the car and run.
