    More specific questions would help. The biggest changes I notice are related to Internet and communication. The fundamentals were about the same. More focus on convenience, less on doing things yourself. I mean the store didn’t sell bags of pre-grated cheese and pre-shredded lettuce - those things would have seemed stupid (well I mean they still are, but somehow they don’t seem like it).

      It’s so weird too. I also buy preshredded cheese but it is noticeably less good and shredding isn’t that difficult so I don’t understand it.

      I mean now that I need a bit of shredded cheese to get my dog to eat, I’m not dirtying a grater every meal for a small biteful

      Similar to pre-shredded lettuce. I do buy it and it does help me eat it more frequently, but buying a head would be much cheaper and better, and it’s not like shredding it is time consuming. I don’t understand it

      Totally. People would debate facts in arguments because you couldn’t just Google it. Okay, I know you might say it’s the same today with MAGA or whatever. But I mean like silly things like which car is faster, which country is bigger etc, who sang a certain song or played a certain character in a movie.

        Ready access to the facts is a huge loss. These conversations used to drive a lot of social interactions that no longer exist.

        Realistically is it more important that we know who played a certain character in a movie or that we had a a group of friends spending time together discussing it?
