Hey now, we talked about the moon landing... and Sputnik.

What other major international events, that were not specific nationalism
efforts made you stop and remember the significance of the event?  Has our
generation had many?  Any?

Well, there is one that comes to mind immediately.

The Internet.

Any others?

happens in an instant.  Construction & positive change takes time.
