From the day
Perspective: The Future Historian · Sight
The neon glow of a digital billboard reflects off skinny jeans and oversized plastic sunglasses, casting a jittery light over the morning commute as the digital pulse of "Boom Boom Pow" thumps from a passing sedan’s open windows. The air smells of cheap newsprint and expensive espresso, with headlines shouting about a performing pig while the first whispers of a decentralized currency begin to circulate in the deeper, more shadowy corners of the web. It feels slightly sketchy to see the old world clinging to its physical staples while the infrastructure for a mobile-first future quietly snaps into place around us. I watch the silhouettes of teenagers clutching smartphones as if they are the new holy relics, oblivious to how these glass rectangles are rewriting our social DNA.
