It’s always weird to be reminded that the world as it is – to borrow a phrase, if I may – was a very different place not so long ago, and that what now seems constant and obvious was once strange or unknown.
The phone you unthinkingly grab from your pocket to do, well, everything, used to be a crazy technological magic trick. The person snoring on the couch next to you in front of the TV was once a first date. The new building that went up in your neighbourhood at first looked like it dropped out of the sky, but now you can’t remember the block without it.
“Good” is the new “Lying” I see.
