One thing to remember is that change never stops and we're certainly not in any perfect society right now where we'd want change to stop at. We've seen huge magnitudes of societal change over and over throughout history.
For the most part, the idea of change is rarely inherently bad (even though, IMO, it's natural to inherently resist it) -- and humans adapt quickly to the parts that have negative impacts.
Humans are one of, if not the most, resilient race on the planet. Younger generations not getting licenses, sticking to themselves more, escaping in different ways, etc are all "different" than what we're used to, but to that younger generation it's just a new normal for them.
One day they'll be posting on HN2, wondering whether the crazy technological or societal changes about to come out will mean the downfall of their children (or children's children), and the answer will still be the same: no, but what's "normal" for humankind will continue to change.
