Future Shock

Future Shock is a term coined by author Alvin Toffler in the 1970s to describe the overwhelming feeling people experience due to rapid changes in society, technology, and culture. As advancements occur faster than individuals can adapt, they may feel confused, anxious, or disoriented—like they're struggling to keep up with the future. This phenomenon highlights the emotional and psychological impact of living in a constantly evolving world and emphasizes the need for individuals and societies to find ways to cope with and embrace change effectively.
