it all started when i read that i am the generation that may be caught by surprise - like a deer in the headlights - by how the robots are taking over...
i am the generation that still played in the gardens - a game of catch, skipping, and "game and watch"... we watched the same cartoons as the kids in the entire neighbourhood as there there was no astro or dvd or streaming...
i am the generation studying with books and floppy discs, moving on to smaller square disks (i forgot what those are called), finally to usb drives...
i am the generation who did not have mobile phones when we were in school and for me, till i have my first job! we had big phones, flip phones, small phones and now we are back to big phones...
then came emails, icq, irc, internet and google
and maybe it is not all of a sudden... but all of a sudden, we have uber or grab and taxi drivers are jobless! phones are killing cameras, everybody is a "professional" photographer, online shopping is killing retail shops and malls, junior lawyers will be replaced by artificial intelligence, drivers are no longer needed in the mines as we have driverless trucks - no rest, no holidays, no tantrums...
i am the generation who might be replaced right before i am ready to retire, and with advancements in medical science and technology, i am the generation with extended lifespan...

2 sides to every coin. Studies have shown if there are driverless car, there may not be jams building up due to one car slowing down.
