In digital technology, no.  This is unprecedented.  But physical technology is
slower than in the past.  People born at the beginning of thelast century went
from seeing people use horses, to cars, seeing flight, seeing man walk on the
moon.  The entire world changedphysically.  Today, the physical changes are
minor.  The planes we see are the same as those in our youth.  We still drive
cars.  Our homes haven't changed much (except the screens).

Compare a home from 1995 to 1965.  Now compare one from 2025 to 1995.  The 2025
home is far more similar (aside from surface aesthetics) to 1995, than 1995 to
1965.  Sure, the 1995 person would be astounded at the sheer capacity of hard
drives, but conceptually, everything they see would be understood.
