Like immigrants in a new nation, or strangers in a strange land.

Things change so fast that the world around us feels strange and unexpected, even though we have grown into it naturally. I used to see that same level of disorientation and confusion in my grandfather. He was intelligent, educated, vastly experienced and very wise, but he saw the world around him slipping away into incomprehensibility, not because he was unable to keep up with it, but because no one is able to keep up with it.

The very young don't see this because they haven't lived long enough to see any change happen. They seem so at ease with the present, but I fear that they will soon become disoriented too, and even faster than we were.
