Might be time to put your life in perspective

Think of that from another perspective.

Assuming human lifetime to be 70 years:

• 0.4 lifetimes ago, the term "smartphone" was first used
• 0.5 lifetimes ago, Internet became a thing
• 1.7 lifetimes ago, first airplane rose in the sky
• 3 lifetimes ago, we got the first Turing-complete computer
• 6 lifetimes ago, we started discovering electricity
• 8 lifetimes ago, Middle Ages came to a close
• 20 lifetimes ago you'd be at the end of what we now as antiquity.
• 75 lifetimes ago you'd be at the beginning of Ancient Egypt and the early Bronze Age.
• 105 lifetimes ago you would witness the beginning of first human civilizations.
• 150 lifetimes ago people invented agriculture
• 4300 lifetimes ago humans as we know them appeared

History is speeding up, and today one human life is enough to witness a change our ancestors wouldn't see in a millennia.

Sure, we are, as always, grains of sand in the desert of eternity, but we are grains that matter. That make a change. Every day.

It took only 8 lives to rise from medieval times to where we are now, and less than one lifetime to transform...everything.
