For example, buildings and houses more than a hundred years old keep getting more and more rare, and often have an aesthetic that stands out, more ornate or with a particular style that most people can’t afford today or that is not financially convenient etc. But back in the day, that’s how things were built and most people didn’t put much thought into it.
Another example, illustrations for advertisements ( either billboards or magazines). Up until the 60s (declining from the 70s onwards) a lot of ads had hand drawn illustrations, which required a lot of skill and talent to make. Yet people took them for granted, it was the standard quality of illustration for ads.
So the question is, are we currently mass producing something that will be seen in a similar light in a couple of generations? Thoughts?
Houseplants. I feel like they are slowly disappearing. My grandma has plants in nearly every window, but us younger folk would rather have a Displate with a picture if a plant instead if an actual plant.
Ours are getting so out of hand that they are starting to encroach on the TV but I’m not even mad. TV looks better when viewed through a jungle anyway xD
Our outdoor plant game is much weaker though, I feed all the neighbourhood birds and the pigeons love to get into the outside plant pots and wreck out shit!
I haven’t noticed a decrease in houseplants in my circles. I really hope they don’t disappear
