I'm a Generation X, and I can clearly say that I clearly got into the 'internet age' around 2001-04 timeframe we finally got internet in our house at that time.... and my 'spiritual awakening' in the years to follow. It just unravels like nothing, awakening, enlightening.
My awakening,,,,,wasn't all at once. I can't pinpoint to an exact time or place,,,,I just realized over time I wasn't alone and that I shouldn't feel bad for my 'enlightening, awakening'. That there were probably 1000's of people like me.
To some people their 'awakening' is a traumatic, terrifying experience. For me, it was so 'gradual', which is probably why it why so painless and devastating.
