Activities that were once inherently social in the 1950s and ’60s have become much more solitary. Dan Sullivan and Jeffrey Madoff discuss the changes, technological and otherwise, that have altered the way we work, play, and socialize.

Show Notes:

In the mid-to-late-20th century, you generally had to go somewhere and deal with someone in person if you wanted to do something.

Over the decades, technological advances didn't just make our lives more efficient. They progressively automated, individualized, and digitized tasks that used to require a community to get done.

The attitude of the marketplace is: if they’re going to do it, we’re going to make it easier for them to do it.

TV was called the window on the world and the vast wasteland, and both of those statements were true.

Thanks to targeted ads and content suggestions, where you used to be the observer and the spectator, you're becoming almost the subject of the activity.

The difference between how much viewer research is being done now compared to the 1950s is enormous.

Audiences are so splintered now that TV can't aggregate the kind of viewer numbers they used to be able to.

The introduction of credit cards allowed people to live beyond their means, which caused other kinds of problems.
