Have you noticed that, these days, people no longer change? Instead we evolve. Everything we do involves evolution. Our eating habits evolve, our taste in music evolves, our paper products evolve. We’re evolving so rapidly that soon we’ll devolve into single-cell organisms with no sense of fashion or etiquette, and then we’ll be back on the evolution fast track again.

This is my nod to what has become one of the most overused words in the English language, “evolve.” Presumably this is happening because it’s a sciencey sounding word and everyone thinks that’s cool. Personally, I’d like to stop evolving and just go back to changing and adapting. All this evolving is giving me a headache.
