You ever think about how different life is in the city now compared to, say, twenty years ago?

Absolutely. It’s wild! I mean, the technology alone has transformed everything. Remember when we used to pull out paper maps?

But at what cost? The pace is insane. People seem more rushed than ever. I miss the days when you could just stroll through a park without everyone glued to their screens.

True, but the convenience is hard to deny. I can order food, hail a ride, or find a coffee shop with just a few taps. It’s almost like the city caters to our every whim.

Right? Now it’s all GPS on our phones. It’s convenient, but sometimes I feel like we’re losing our sense of direction, literally and figuratively.
