Believe it or not, in 2025, the year 2050 will be the same distance in time from us as the year 2000. This simple fact can be a bit jarring to comprehend, as it shifts the way we perceive the future. The "future" we often imagine, filled with advanced technology and potential societal shifts, is much closer than we tend to think.
This realization invites us to pause and reflect on how much has changed in the past 25 years and how much might change in the next 25. The year 2000, which may feel like a distant memory for some, was marked by flip phones, dial-up internet, and the early days of the internet. The rapid pace of technological advancements over the past few decades serves as a reminder of how quickly time passes and how much can change in just a quarter of a century.
