Not overly. The two biggest changes are the creation of civilisation/cities and the internet encouraging restricted face to face interaction.

Personally, I believe that technology is primarily just an accelerant. The fundamental experience is and will remain the same. Only the scale of societies and the speed at which processes happen changes.

Yes but only very recently and in particular parts of the world.

And even then it's mostly about physical access to resources and amenities. But in order to attain this we've sacrificed social and spiritual aspects of our societies.

It's not an enormous change and people are still fundamentally the same but we live different lives for sure.

For what it's worth, no, because your experience will never change.

But compare 1000 to 2000. Both times were inhabited by humans, but the worlds were such different places. Surely the human experience shifts with the aging society.

But there do seem to be some quintessential human elements that stand the test of time. Though, we do not reach this information by means of experience. We just read it, or hear of it, and process it in an experience already tainted by 21st century thought.

Our genes haven't changed much, we merely satiate our desires to different degrees.

Life is less laborious, but our sense of belonging and purpose has been obliterated. Unless your goal in life is hedonism you are viewed as a weirdo, some will view you as a creep as though the fact you are different means you might turn out to be a serial killer. Diogenes, Descartes, Isaac Newton, all these brilliant eccentrics in the past would have been objects of hate.

Really?
That sort odlf weirdos are either always viwed with pity or interest wherw i am, never hate. The only ones i know who are vieved with hate are the ones acting antisocial or doung nothing but leeching of society, maybe our places just are that different?
