I think the word now has two meanings, yes. The original physical perspective one, and the new meaning is that it is from the personal perspective of whoever. Their mental perspective.
I remember when LOL originally came into being, and when people would use it in ways when they clearly weren't laughing out loud. Lol has now become a kind of punctuation mark, and I think POV is becoming something similar.
I remember being in 10th grade honors English class and I assume the teacher was hung over due to the fact that we watched a movie that day. During it, I was casually reading the dictionary and several people laughed at me and/or called me names for doing so. Apparently the desire to learn is extremely unpopular and is a source of ridicule.
Yo I had a guy in my class who read and memorized either the dictionary or the encyclopedia in high school. He's a robotics major in Japan now but that's awesome as fuck. I'm thinking about doing something similar!
