Moments of WOW

Something the newer generations seem to have been robbed of

These were some of our wow moments back then.

Today, for the newer generation, the wow moments are more centred around finding trivial facts later in life and making a video about it at that moment of epiphany.

I am not speaking from a scientific authority here or some authentic research, but rather a slightly more than shallow observation:

The millennial generation has been exposed to various factors that have increased awareness and a greater level of connectedness than ever before. The prevalence of technology has enabled the generation to easily access information from a wide range of sources, from traditional media to social media platforms. This has allowed millennials to become more knowledgeable about the world around them, as well as to explore a variety of topics and perspectives. However, this constant exposure to media and technology has also resulted in a potential for over-stimulation and burnout.

With a continuous stream of information at their fingertips, millennials can become overwhelmed and fatigued by the sheer amount of stimuli they experience daily. The pressure to keep up with the latest trends and news can also lead to anxiety and restlessness. The feeling of being constantly “on” can make it difficult for millennials to relax and take a break from the world around them.
