Hook

I swear, every millennial in 2026 is just totally ready to pull a complete 180. Because we basically grew up in an era where we watched innovation make life genuinely better every single year. Like think when cell phones first came out, or iPods, digital cameras, smartphones, when there was literally an app for everything. Like we were so incredibly pumped. And then it just turned. Everything became a subscription, social media became an algorithm, a sandwich cost $20 for whatever reason. And you can't go 24 hours without some sort of once-in-a-lifetime event coming directly to your phone, which is now, by the way, a 7-inch supercomputer that was designed to command our attention 24/7. Like where I'm getting at, we were sold on the idea that technology was gonna bring convenience and make things more affordable. And it just snowballed into whatever era we are currently living in today. And now almost every millennial I know would basically gladly trade all of it for a job as a park ranger who only needs a flip phone, who lives out west and like a tiny town with this cute little diner on the corner where the waitress knows their order.
