What?

Things are Different.

In the 20th Century, things were More. In the 21st Century things are Different:

• In Manhattan, Dubai, London buildings happen from nowhere. Neither sculpture nor architecture, these buildings are “stuff”. Shapes are scaleless, no discernable size beyond big: with exteriors being wallpaper, or paint.
• In every medium-up sized place to live, the Box is eating landscape, killing buildings. Those exteriors are patchwork, often just shot-gunned windows with Contact Paper Skin.
• In Every Place Anyone Is Helped, when thanked, those helping used to say “Thank You.” Now they say either “Of Course.” or “Enjoy.”
• Back up car cameras cause cars to swing into parking spaces facing out, stopping those going in, but freeing those waiting for a space earlier than the back-up waiting of the 20th century.
• No one is admired beyond athletes, actors and musicians.
• Zoom.
• The weather is not as bad as advertised. Ever.
• Airports are nuts. More than again.
• Things that seem viable, close.
• Books are novels for Boomers.
• No Cheap Food.
• There is no “News” to “read”, we “hear” on screens.
• Weed smoke.
• Unused bike lanes
• Double parking
