Mid-life crisis, according to the ever present wikipedia:

"A mid-life crisis is an emotional state of doubt and anxiety in which a person becomes uncomfortable with the realization that life is halfway over. It commonly involves reflection on what the individual has done with his or her life up to that point, often with feelings that not enough was accomplished. The individuals experiencing such may feel boredom with their lives, jobs, or their partners, and may feel a strong desire to make changes in these areas."

I heard something interesting the other day that I thought I'd share. Apparently there is a notion that the traditional "mid-life crisis" is occurring at a much younger age than the much advertised 40-50 year age bracket. This is occurring (I submit) because a rapid increase in technological innovation is leading to people maturing much earlier than they did in the 70's and 80's. It makes sense - kids are growing up much faster than ever before, and are much more world-weary than their parents were at similar ages. Hence the "mid-life crisis" symptoms occurring much earlier than expected.

It's too late to finish this thought....perhaps tomorrow.
