The Importance of Looking Backwards
I encourage you to just think back go into the archives of whatever project is that you work on and think about or look research what do people want to build back then. If there are really long-term visions are there bits that you could still work on that haven't been fulfilled yet. I think sometimes visuals help we tend to conceptualize ourselves as ourselves kind of having been dropped into the civilization and it's just kind of up and running but I think that sometimes looking that far into the past and actually realizing how vocal our ancestors were can be very inspiring.
