‘NOSTALGIA IS REVISITING OLD MEMORIES, BUT WITH NONE OF THE PAIN’ – SOMETHING THAT RESONATES WITH MULTIMEDIA STORYTELLER
There are two things I’ve always dreaded about getting older. The first is reminiscing about the good old days. This can take many forms, from sitting with dear friends and talking about all the madness you got up to back then, to being stuck listening only to music from your early adulthood. I fear the latter so much that I flatly refuse to go to concerts headlined by the artists I loved in my late teens and early twenties.
The second thing I dread is finding myself judging youth and new cultural trends. A perfect example of this is when you begin your sentences with phrases like: ‘In my day…’ or ‘These kids of today…’ Every generation seems to forget how much of a departure they were from the one before theirs. There’s nothing new about that.
Still, my pet peeve is people who go on and on about how much more time we spend staring at our screens. Whatever you think about that, best you get over it. This train is going in only one direction. And possibly towards transhumanism, and the singularity – artificial intelligence.
