So theoretically if we terraformed the Earth we would be free to genetically engineer humans to survive without lungs?

I was thinking that I can't imagine not immediately comprehending written words. Then I realized that I already do that in German. It takes a bit of effort. It's really surprising that so many people live their lives like that with their native language.

I honestly don't know how it can be possible, especially these days with everything done on phones and the internet. It does help me to understand the appeal of Tiktok, Instagram, YouTube, etc though.

Yes but back then most people only bought maybe 2-3 games the entire generation and traded with their friends. There was also a lot of local coop games.

Now people would like to play dozens of games and it's difficult to share, often you even need to buy two copies of a game to even play with your family in the same house.

The 1,000 year gap really shows how fast things move now. Imagine not being able to date if something was made 1,000 years ago or today. Even a couple decades is a big change in what we use.
