Future shock is the shattering stress and disorientation that we induce in individuals by subjecting them to too much change in too short a time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Shock can kill you. Shock is terrible. But what you've got to do is live in the present, which is what I have always done.
Just as the body goes into shock after a physical trauma, so does the human psyche go into shock after the impact of a major loss.
When you're in a high-stress situation, dynamics between people can change.
Man has a limited biological capacity for change. When this capacity is overwhelmed, the capacity is in future shock.
Being essentially a creator, I never set out to shock, always thinking about creating my work and not about the benefits it could produce.
The future is all about leading a stress-free life and having all the solutions for all problems at hand.
The shock of any trauma, I think changes your life. It's more acute in the beginning and after a little time you settle back to what you were. However it leaves an indelible mark on your psyche.
Anything you're trying to will is focused on the future; it's always associated with some sort of anxiety that makes the present moment somewhat uncomfortable.
Most simply, 'present shock' is the human response to living in a world that's always on real time and simultaneous. You know, in some ways it's the impact of living in a digital environment, and in other ways it's just really what happens when you stop leaning so forward to the millennium and you finally arrive there.
Most of us are about as eager to be changed as we were to be born, and go through our changes in a similar state of shock.
