Modern paint has taken all the fun out if watching paint dry. With all these additives and special dry fast and no staining really leaves much to be desired as people no longer are caught off guard and get paint on them like in the good old days. No longer can you laugh at people who ignore the Wet Paint signs and proceed to touch/lean/sit on wet painted surfaces. Gone are the destroyed fancy materials due to the good old slow drying paints, then the second hand paint smears on secondary surfaces and people. Back when paint drying was more of a cost increasing sport due to people getting it on them and the cost of buying new clothes or re-painting secondary surfaces was all the rage in paint the economy was booming! Well those days are long gone, even that paint used on kids shows is super safe an no longer are kids sent to the hospital to remove paint from who knows where due to having a gallon of paint dropped on them. Then the new plastic containers, hardly put a dent on anyone's head like the good old STEEL containers did. Also gone are the paint oozing days due to those steel cans rusting out, now with those lame plastic cans the paint just peels off, totally takes the toxic side effects away from kids these days. Also, I remember when if you wanted to have a wall with that worn cracked, chipped dried up paint you had to wait for years or expose your wall to the elements, now you can buy paint that just does that for the worn look... what's next imagine a paint scheme and the wall changes color, kids these days don't know the days what getting paint out of their head from painting a ceiling is.
One good thing though, painters now with relaxed dress codes no longer have to wear white.
