50 years ago, the futurist Alvin Toffler wrote "Future  Shock", a book in which he introduced the notion of an  acute disorientation caused by experiencing rapid  change in a short time span. He theorized that the  accelerated pace of technological and societal  advancements would leave numerous individuals  feeling alienated, leading to severe disorientation and  heightened stress. Toffler further argued that many of  the societal challenges faced were direct repercussions  of this Future Shock[1]。
