[ExI] Eventbrite/Zoom addiction!

[William Flynn Wallace]

Your post led me to think of this:  what things not even thought in the
near past do we have now that have no relationship to advances in science
or technology?  In your post you mention life coaches.  I think that's a
good example, but right off hand, I cannot think of any more.

I assume a life coach is a generalist, not a specialist like people who
give advice on jobs or investments or buying a car.  bill w
