This is the first of two forum posts inspired by the fabulous Sir David of Retrohenshire of RetroHen blog fame. His post made me think about changes that I've witnessed and experienced over the years - some I never saw coming.
Here are some of them:
A king of England rather than a queen!
The closure of many of Britain's leading high street stores such as Woolworths; Tammy Girl; Granada etc.
Print publications practically on their way out!
The end of News of the World!
Mobile phones and this little thing called the internet taking over the world.
People no longer having to lie about having met their partner online!
The rise of social media
A pandemic that shut the whole world down and changed the way we lived and worked.
I could go on all day! What changes and major events have occurred over the years that you yourself have experienced that have had an impact, either on you individually or on society as a whole?
Being an old bird, there's a lot of changes I'd have seen over the years. The demise of Top of the Pops for a start! Now that's one I didn't think could ever happen!
I suppose it's just the way the world has become very digitalized. I'm not from the dark ages, of course I've grown up with technology, but this is now on a much broader scale. We've also become so much more reliant on technology and devices more now than ever before.
