The world is at your fingertips. In 2018, you can have your groceries delivered to your doorstep within a few hours, you don't have to leave your couch to order the next book in a series you're dying to read. You can find out who that actor is in the movie you're watching (you know you know him, you just can't place him) by just pulling out you phone and doing a quick search. "Millennials are over exposed to dopamine through the use of social media" (Divnomics, 2017). You live for instant gratification even if you don't realize it.
