Really missing the feeling of engaging with technology so it's giving you goose bumps from excitement, purely from witnessing positive creative feats/hacks — not from the way a horror movie gives you cold shivers...
Example: Listening to the Alien Breed theme for the very first time (and for hours!) on big speakers at a friend's house — making it the main event (rather than playing the game) and the feeling of taking a space walk outside the 8-bit chip tunes universe/aesthetics I was part of:

Or, watching some Amiga/PC demo scene productions with incredible visuals/music, created with incredible ingenuity and within often absurd limitations (both physical & artificial), dreaming about all the amazing techniques I'd like to experiment with myself and just being in sheer awe of the creative magic & skills involved in realizing some of these things. #Goosebumps!
Sure, these were formative moments during formative years, and I know it's not an unique sentiment/thought/insight, but I/we need to find ways to return to that spirit, not for nostalgia reasons, but for survival & health (mind & body, society etc.)
I also still think the demoscene specifically has never received its due credit for encouraging and actively _demo_nstrating how to do so much more with so much less... I see this as an ever more important skillset for the future. A lot of that has to do with aiming more at human-scale technology, i.e. tech which people can close to fully understand as basis for malleability, shaping/reshaping without sacrificing comprehension, and taking on board a lot of the good things we've learned (often the hard way) in the interim decades...
