🙂 Well you are feisty, and I mean that in the best sense of the word. Well, time is not guaranteed to anyone. I feel like I've observed a great deal of change in my life. You've seen much more than I have and have enough marbles left to not only bear witness to it, but to relate it through your cynical and satirical eye.

Actually, if you look deeper a century ago, perhaps, the names were roughly equal between men and women. In the 70's the name was given to women a lot more frequently, though not exclusively (this is probably why you see it as a girls name as the 70s is when you came of age). Today in the name is given to both boys and girls equally. The name by YOUR definition is unisex, gender neutral. Again. limiting the evidence to you own observations. @Pioneer1 If you encountered the name "Shannon" on a resumè, could you guarantee that the person was female?

People engage in far more reckless endeavors that can immediately affect their lives than being ignorant of lies and climate change. Less than 1% of the population pays much attention to the technical details of anything. They don't read a lot either. The primary concerns of most people are having basic needs met and enjoying life while they're alive. The future beyond their existence isn't a priority.😎

In all my years, I NEVER heard Shannon used as a girl's name until I was middleaged. As a child, my neighbors' last name was Shannon that's how I knew its Irish origin. Around the '70s was when people started giving their daughters surnames like Morgan and Meredith, Tracy and Allyson and Sidney and Whitney, and Reagan which were also gender neutral. Nowadays MacKenzie has become a popular girl's name. This trend was popular mainly among white people. Blacks just started making up names and "La" became a popular prefix. Traditionally, many women use their maiden name as a middle name for their children. Especially rich white ones. I was named after an aunt who was named after a prominent white debutant who was a memberof the millionaire Vanderbilt family. She and my aunt were born on the same day. I was watching the NFL draft to see how my BEARS would make out and all dem first round black picks were named Jaden or Jalin or Kaden or Calin or Caleb or Justin or Jason or variations thereof.

Yes, society is increasingly complex, but we seem to adapt. Most people my parents age never engaged with technology, however, people, my kids, age and younger, took to technology it like fish to water. Compared to the past things so much easier we have a lot more free time and can do a lot more with that time. In the past, we spent a great deal more time just providing for our basic needs washing clothes, and securing and preparing food took a lot more time and energy in the past. Tiday we can just open up an app and have someone else do it — relatively cheaply. Obviously advances of medicine have led to more comfortable and longer lifespans Net-net, despite the proliferation of increasingly complex, passwords and challenges to log into things, collectively we are all better off.
