sometimes if you put things in generations, it's insane. I wonder what it will be like for us, as we live in an age where everything changes so quickly.

Re: Also this:

right?

i think the people of roughly our parents' grandparents generation (i.e., those born in the mid-to-late-1800s and dying in the early-to-mid 1900s) probably witnessed the biggest change in terms of day to day life (imagine being a child in 1885 and living to see the atom bomb), our grandparents in terms of technology and civil rights (my grandparents were born between 1916 and 1932 and died between 2002 and 2015). who KNOWS what we'll see. very possibly less insane change, in terms of how people live day to day

My uncle was born on a ship, on one of those long journeys from Europe to Asia. Like, that doesn't really happen anymore. My grandmother couldn't have any more kids because of rhesus disease, now they just give you a shot for it...it's crazy how fast things go.

my great-grandfather was a type 1 diabetic, and he took his blood sugar once every 3 months (at the doctors').

i'm a tupe 1 diabetic, and i take my blood sugar 3 times a day minimum, and there's a machine that can average out 3 months worth of blood sugars from a single drop of blood in less than 5 minutes.

Yes! like medicine is one of the things that was so much NOT better in the "good old days".

Re: Also this:

one time on a long drive my family and i worked out how long we'd have all made it without modern medicine. my mom would have lived the longest (until her 40s, when she got severe pneumonia and very nearly died with modern medicine), and my brother lived the shortest (he'd have died at a few weeks old, due to lung issues that are, nowadays, super minor). my dad and i would have each made it to about 13 or 14 (burst appendix and severe viral infection, respectively).

I've played this game. My oldest friend and I would likely both have been dead soon after birth. I weighed under 3 pounds at birth and dropped to just under 2 afterwards and had all kinds of complications from being premature and low birth rate and stuff, and my friend had a 1/10000 genetic defect where she was born basically one big blister. Pretty much everyone I know would be dead and the dead ones would've died a lot earlier.

Re: Also this:

If nothing else, I would have probably died at about 38 from an infected tooth; my sister, a Type 1 diabetic, likely wouldn't have made it into her teens. My mom and my nephew would have both died from appendicitis (my mom in her sixties, my nephew when he was 7 or 8.)

Re: Also this:

I think I'd still be alive, but my quality of life would be absolute shit. I'd have a fun unknown and untreated neurological disorder. And depending on how far back in time we go, my eyesight could be a major problem. Just based on how huge and unwieldy my glasses would be, I wouldn't want to live before 1970 at a minimum.

Unless in this universe, my mom got eclampsia while she was pregnant with me, instead of just warning signs. Then, who knows!

Re: Also this:

I had glasses when I was a little kid before 1970. they weren't that bad.

Re: Also this:

How bad were your eyes? There's a heckuva difference between -3s and -10s if you're talking glass lenses.
