All the Good Changes That Have Happened

Just for me, and people like me who don't think change is happening or happening fast enough.

1.Am sitting in the middle of the woods up north, where 5 years ago only dial-up was available, now logged on with DSL 24/7.
2.Trains are at record ridership.
3.Automobile driving continues to decline.
4.Suburbs now in decline.
5.Gay marriage pretty well a "done deal."
6.Those telecommuting continue to increase.
7.Both our presidential candidates have enacted health care legislation.
8.Knowledge work rising, percentage of people working in factories declining.
9.Some realization that a four year college degree is necessary.
10.Teacher accountability and evaluation experiments starting.

What have you got to add to the Nine Shift list?

I don't think #7 is so great because the first of the two to do this now denounces his own action and now wants to cancel out the second's action as well. So while you're correct that this happened, the future's still very much in doubt.
