As for the recent past -- do you feel like technological & scientific progress has been faster, slower, or about the same from 1980 to 2000 compared to 2000-2020?
1980-2000: personal computers, the Internet. 2000-2020: ubiquitous smartphones, wireless Internet, most things move from offline to online. You experienced 2000-2020, and a number of you also experienced 1980-2000. So this poll should be interesting.
And follow-up: do you expect science & technology to change more over the next 20 years compared to 2000-2020?
It is a general fact of human nature that on average people are more optimistic than warranted by their own experience, and expect more of the future than what has been happening in the past -- so I know where this is going
it's a hard question because new technology needs time until it has been understood/realized by the user, so the effect might not be immediate. often it can take 20 years. like with the WWW.
I was listening to a radio show from 2001 where the character talks about getting a CD with an encyclopaedia on it. It made me think about how much the technology has progressed since then. But is this just consumer technology that is changing so fast?
One wonders the correlation to these replies and the distribution of people who were tweens or teens during the period to which they replied...
1980 I had a computer, to use it I had to use magazines, paper manuals, software on physical media. By 1999 that was mostly the same. 2000 - 2020 you can find *anything* online, free code, languages, manuals. Plus any knowledge, music, all that.
