My point is that as the fidelity of signals become stronger we acclimate to it. Turn back 6 years and the connectedest Gen Y lighting up on the internet felt the same way, in the circles I traveled many espoused the same self-aware sentiment as this, some even without the benefit of being Gibsonites.

Now that Gen Z is lighting up, crowding into Instagram, inheriting Reddit, rebuilding Tumblr, you know what I see? The most connectedest again are repeating the same sentiment and make believing they're the only ones in all of history to hold such perspective.

It's the same generational gap meme. Over and over again. Eventually the Gen Z grow old and grow out of using whatever trends charmed them. Then we get the reverb about how awkward of phase it was in the aughts and 10's that we became a generation addicted to black mirrors in the palm of our hands like the 70's was about sparking up and 80's was about indulging in cocaine in social situations.

And as I get older and on my march of filing out of the 18-35 demographics the more I learn and realize it's always been this way, but took awhile for the education to reveal itself. From the times of pulp fiction to radio surfing. And it will forever be this way as each generation arrive.

Just wait until the babies having grown up entirely with glass become self aware.
