that was a particularly large one, but lots of people old enough at any given time will feel the world is changing and that it’s somehow dangerous.
I agree, some of the time the changes are much larger than others, but there will always at any given time be people that feel this is true about their particular time.
I think there are times when it is more relevant, e.g. initial change from a feudal/agrarian model to industrialization. By all accounts this was perhaps the biggest, most impactful change in human history.
One could argue that we are now witnessing a similar transition with respect to the information age.
At any rate, this was a somewhat glib statement on my part. :)
This is a bit of cliche, but still relevant to our current times:
Antonio Gramsci (Italian Marxist philospher from the turn of the century)
problem is, that statement can be applied at any given time in history

Maybe that’s why he didn’t specify which century.
