Internet and the flood of information. Vegan population soon reaching a critical mass(every friend circle has a vegan). And then when people have someone next to them who is vegan for x+ years and healthy they will think it's a maintainable lifestyle. Also, anecdotal evidence, just a year ago a vegan post on a forum (i.e. Reddit) would get downvoted into oblivion and posts like 'bacon tho' upvoted, when today, more often than not, it's the opposite

Because feeding meat to 9 billion is unsustainable and the only reason we are able to do it now is because of the huge subsidies. It has terrible environmental effects and it's morally wrong since the only reason people still eat meat is the taste and tradition. I expect a huge paradigm shift here. For more information you could watch documentaries like Cowspiracy and Earthlings.

MacBook Pro 10 years ago

No, because the floppy is on 1% devices and the usb is on 99,99%, not really a fair comparison

Not sure how to feel about this, are there any laws that prevent minorities and women to become tech founders? Just don't discriminate people and that should be enough. As accepting only white males into certain programs would be considered racist, so is this IMO.

iPhone 7 10 years ago

Yeah, that would be the case, if it only were not for the dozens of just touchscreen phones before the iPhone came out. IMO, this could be the beginning of the decline of Apple (since smartphones make majority of apples profit)
