<-- Futique | Transhumanist Terminology Index | Galaxy Brain -->


The shock that is/will be felt by those people who are not following the progress of technology, that are not seeing the changes that the world is making around them.

At some point, that person will realize that things have changed to the point they're starting not to recognize sizeable segments of the world around them. Being that way about the present is called now shock.

Similar to culture shock.
