The winds of change

Distances. They do not exist anymore.

Then you stayed in the town where you were born, never went much further than the state capitol, were always surrounded by people whom you knew and who knew you, and you always knew how things were "supposed to be". Now, we can walk away from any place or any situation, immediately, permanently. There is no grounding in place or identity anymore, and even a SARS epidemic from half-way around the world is only one plane ride away.
