Getting used to things quickly

Ten years ago mobiles were just becoming commonplace. Five years ago we were still Hyving and barely getting onto Facebook. In 2000 I could still carry waterbottles on the airplane without throwing them away at customs. In 2005 I was still using printed driving instructions.

How quickly things change. Today there's no life without facebook, your smartphone, google maps. We take our shoes off, leave bottles behind and follow all the strange airline customs. We curse establishments that don't carry free wifi, we don't trust potential hires that don't have a linkedin profile, and we need to tweet everything anytime anyplace.

Five years from now? I shudder to think.
