The tangible and intangible world, is in essence, a handful of ideas.
Those who were born around the fifties of the last century, have been able to see big changes, as no other generation in this fifth Sun.
Indeed, the world that, that in our childhood, our parents gave us, in a short time changed, from what they received from their parents. And the world that the grandparents gave our fathers also had major changes, and so on. The world had other speed and changes, not only technological, were much slower.
Ideas and objects did not lapse as fast, in fact, the concept of "disposable" did not exist. The concept of the divine and sacred was transmitted from generation to generation, almost immutably and for example, a shaving blade, in some societies was transmitted as a symbol of authority from a grandfather to a father, and then to the son. Objects were made to last and did not lapse.
