This is interesting. If human consciousness and thinking was changing today, how could you detect it? Perhaps the increased amount of information that we need to process is changing how we think?

Sometimes I have a feeling that our grandparents or parents are not thinking or introspecting as deeply as my generation. They are just doing things, but we seem to be thinking more about the consequences of our actions. Is there a way to measure this? Or is this just the usual "generation gap" thing?
