      To say that the shift in human civilization that occurred around the turn of the 20th century was true at any other time in history is as wrong as wrong can ever be.

        that was a particularly large one, but lots of people old enough at any given time will feel the world is changing and that it’s somehow dangerous.

        I agree, some of the time the changes are much larger than others, but there will always at any given time be people that feel this is true about their particular time.

      I think there are times when it is more relevant, e.g. initial change from a feudal/agrarian model to industrialization. By all accounts this was perhaps the biggest, most impactful change in human history.

      One could argue that we are now witnessing a similar transition with respect to the information age.

      At any rate, this was a somewhat glib statement on my part. :)
