In this episode we talk about how the change between generations is accelerating, the role of technology and the internet in this change, and whether we think we'd struggle to keep up with technology as we get older. We also discuss some of the major potential inflection points in technological advancements in the coming decades.

In Shower Thoughts we overthink those random questions and life-changing thoughts we frequently have in the shower and maybe come to a conclusion, all in a casual conversation.

Key discussion points in this episode:

• As time passes, the rate of change and development in society has been increasing. This means that there is less time required for a generational gap to develop.
• As the world progresses, it's our responsibility to stay up to date
• Catalysts for change in human advancement: what's next?
