Not contacting a person until you meet them again at a location you planned the day before.

Not knowing where you are, locating using literal maps.

It boggles my mind how much safety we have today.

Lead poisoning. I know, I know, there are a ton of other hazards we’re exposing ourselves to. We will have our reckoning with things like plastic, but at least lead is something we’re aware of and dealing with.

Along those same lines, ozone layer destroying products.

what happened to the bugs?

It’s two things, one personal vehicles are designed to bend air around them rather than slice through or just brute force through air resistance. This means that more bugs are pushed out of the way with newer vehicles now, compared to older vehicles which just had the bug hit the windshield. The second and much more impactful reason is because the insect population has dropped significantly in the last 25 years.

fluid dynamics simulated on computers helped air-bending, that’s cool. i knew about the bees disappearing, but bugs in general too?
