Adapting to Changing Times

There have always been drifters, wanderers, and vagrants,
People who couldn’t settle down. But now, in the third millennium,
They’ve traded traditional homes and apartments
For what’s sometimes called “real estate on wheels”:
Vans, school buses, camper trucks, travel trailers, and old sedans.
They’re driving away from the choices,
The impossible choices, they faced as the middle class.

Life patterns are changing.
New concepts of living are emerging rapidly.
It’s hard to predict how much change will come.
There are threats like the second and third waves of COVID-19, and the looming Singularity,
Where technology and AI surpass human abilities.
To adapt to changing times,
We must start with learning.
Adaptation comes next.
