As the world changes... do you?

With everything constantly changing around us, do you change with it? Everything from technology to world wars changes... does your conscious change in result? One example is comedy shows and movies. Even ten years ago the style of comedy has drastically changed. Think of how differently your life would be if the internet was never created Think about the vast amount of knowledge you have consumed because of a computer...The computer has also made a lot of people fat. These are just a couple of examples
I was just thinking how much the external world changes our internal world in both good and bad

I don't think that whether we're changing or not should be a question because in my opinion we all are changing continuously. A more appropriate question would be about how much we're ready to become conscious of this fact and it's effects.

Not really. On the psychological level humanity seems relatively unchanged in recorded history. What really causes noticeable change in me is how long I have lived and how much I think about and feel what has happened during my life.

while I agree with mushroomtrip that everything is changing, but a better question would have been 'do you accept or resist this change?'
Recently, I've noticed that for the last few years I've been resisting change on the large scale

I constantly adapt. It gets cold, I put on a coat. It gets warm, I take it off. Every movement I learn how to live.

world changes, self changes, it is in step. there is no separation really. as for cause and effect, each being partakes as an agent of both in step with the world which is both.
