I disagree with Mead, I don't think the meaning has changed. I think that it has been altered like many words have to make it more versatile and easier to use. I think that it still means that something connects to another thing, but in this "new" definition the thing it connects to is our experiences. So, no I don't believe the definition has been changed all that much if at all.
However, I do like how Mead said that not finding relatability in a work is a shortcoming of our own. Simply because she is so right, If we cannot while watching a movie or reading a book cannot connect it to something related to our lives, it is our own fault.
