I think about the time we live in, and how glorious and sad it is. The world is falling apart and coming together simultaneously, but that's the nature of a time of change and upheaval. Tyrant v Pleb. Old v New. Here is a list of major word-shaking moments I can think of:
Revolutions
- Literature for the people (Gutenberg 1440)
- Religion for the people (Reformation 1517)
- Government for the people (Philadelphia 1776)
- Travel for the people (Ford 1908)
- Media for the people (the blogosphere 1999, iPhone 2007)
- Money for the people (Nakamoto 2009)
You've experienced two significant revolutions in your lifetime! What's next to fall?
