I am part of the transitional boundary between two generations. I‘m not quite a Millennial, but I do not identify as Gen Z by any means. I am old enough to vaguely remember the 90s, but not to appreciate them; I grew up on reruns of 90s shows, and watched movies from the 80s and 90s because that’s just what my parents owned when I was born.
I saw the fall of analog and the rise of digital; I grew up with a VCR (which I still own to this day), and witnessed the transition to DVD. We are currently in the middle of a new transition away from physical media entirely, and I’m not sure I like it; I want to be able to have things, not just to license a copy that can be taken away at the studio’s whims. Everything is a rights license or a subscription now, bleeding you dry so you can have access rather than ownership.
Cellphones became ubiquitous in my lifetime; when I was a kid, nobody had one, they were big and expensive, and you had to pay for each minute. If you went over your monthly allotment, you would either be charged an arm and a leg or your phone would just stop working, dropping all calls because you just don’t have any time left. Does anyone remember when they had text limits? It was the dark ages! I didn’t get a cellphone until I was in high school, and now I can’t imagine letting your kids leave the house without one.
Smartphones didn’t even exist until I was in middle school, and now they’re the default, the standard. They’ve revolutionized the way we communicate, they’ve gotta be the most influential technology of the 21st century, hands down. It peaked early. That said, smart devices are the bane of my existence because now we live in an Orwellian surveillance state where the government and private companies basically own you. It’s depressing.
I’m sure every generation goes through phases like this; what is history if not one prolonged period of change. Nothing is static, there is no long term status quo, everything keeps moving forward no matter what. The progress of time is the most predictable thing in existence, yet we are almost always blindsided by it. Like, I know 2008 was 11 years ago, but I haven’t really internalized that fact, it’s abstract, because 2008 is simultaneously yesterday and ancient history from a lifetime ago.
