i get that knowledge does not equal experience but sometimes i feel like adults underestimate internet-era young people these kids who’ve had instant access to infinite info since they were like 10 are a whole new species of human https://twitter.com/BI_Haynes/status/1156277851672367104 …

my bf for example has been using Google Earth since he was a kid. he’d spend hours zooming in and out, exploring random places all over the globe. that‘s gotta have a decent impact on how you think about your self 60 years ago, no one had ever even seen a pic of from space!

Have you watched the flick "The Overview Effect" on Youtube? Great short film on just this matter. In fact, this "overview effect" is what is now conflicting with the "point" of "the point-of-view" effect, we might call that.

The Overview Effect represents a serious challenge to the modern ethos (which is perspectival) and is implicated in the current interest in holism and integrality, and probably connected, too, with "the end of the Master Narrative".
