    Ya, by 1st time, i meant in the last generation of humans. Starting in the 30s or so when people started seeing the invention of the things listed above.

    I didnt mean like just now in the 2023. Or last decade.

        No one from the 30’s is still alive?? I better go check on my grandparents.

        Also, why the downvote? I was just adding more explanation to a conversation about an idea.

          I haven’t downvoted you bud…

          Generation means something very specific when you’re talking about the last generation of humans, being alive doesn’t make you the same generation as everyone else currently living.

          Your grandparents by definition are 2 generations older than you are. That’s how they became grandparents.

            Sorry, i just assumed we were at a point where no one other than the 2 of us would be reading this deep.

            Yes that is how generations work. But generations in general is a very loose term. If somone in my grandparents’ generation didnt have kids, they would still be the last generation.

            But it really doesnt matter. The point is that humanity has only had this ability in the last 100 years or so

              Agreed. It’s just your original point really sounded like you meant people today are worrying about it for the first time in history.

              I gotcha now :) x
