This is a bit of cliche, but still relevant to our current times:
Antonio Gramsci (Italian Marxist philospher from the turn of the century)
problem is, that statement can be applied at any given time in history
that was a particularly large one, but lots of people old enough at any given time will feel the world is changing and that it's somehow dangerous.
I agree, some of the time the changes are much larger than others, but there will always at any given time be people that feel this is true about their particular time.
I think there are times when it is more relevant, e.g. initial change from a feudal/agrarian model to industrialization. By all accounts this was perhaps the biggest, most impactful change in human history.
One could argue that we are now witnessing a similar transition with respect to the information age.
At any rate, this was a somewhat glib statement on my part. :)
Maybe that's why he didn't specify which century.
