Later generations will have less attachment to how things were when they grew up because everything changes a lot faster. - eviltoast

Or at the very least less common attachment because they grew up outside of a monoculture.

    I agree with the vast majority of your comment, but this irked me a little:

    Just because the effects are subtle doesn’t make it any less groundbreaking.

    Here’s the definition of the word groundbreaking, per the Cambridge Dictionary:

    If something is groundbreaking, it is very new and a big change from other things of its type

    Much of the changes you describe are big improvements/changes that happened gradually over time (so, not “very new”). I would describe those as iterative improvements, not groundbreaking besides the notable exception of the AI explosion of the past 3-4 years.
