The article discusses the significant role of storytelling in human experience and its potential to address generational divides. It reflects on how societal changes, particularly in television programming, impact the quest for meaning. The author reminisces about simpler times when TV fostered imagination, contrasting it with contemporary shows perceived as shallow. This evolution in media exemplifies the need for storytelling that not only entertains but also preserves valuable lessons and engages all ages in meaningful discourse. Ultimately, storytelling is portrayed as a tool for connection and retention in a fast-changing world.

Storytelling provides a way to retain information that needs to be and should be retained, bridging the generation gap with endless possibilities.
