Your memories of what life was like before the internet are among your most sacred recollections. When we (old Millennial/Young Gen X) pass from the scene, the memory of that world goes with us, forever.
~35-50 year olds occupy a profound place in history. Young enough to fully integrate and adapt to the internet, old enough to have lived important parts of our lives before it arrived. It’s a privileged position, but one that leaves us permanently dislocated & unsettled.
No one else can see what we see, or feel so clearly what has happened. No one has really described it properly yet, but it’s our generation’s task to do it. Were the only ones in a position to tell the story of one of humanity’s great transformations in true first-person.
