We live in a time of data consumption.
Data is the application of boundaries and there relations via naming.
We live in a time of naming because when a name is given there is a level of identity that can be derived.
The derivation of identity is to derive a sense of containment.
When a thing is contained there is power over it via ownership.
We live in a time of data consumption as this is a subconscious drive for power, via ownership, as the current infrastructure is oriented towards aquiring things.
A concept is a thing than can be owned.
This is part of it. Full reason? No. A large facet of the reason? Yes.

What do ‘you’ mean by, “We live in a time of naming …”, exactly?
Naming has been around for quite some time, and for the exact same reason you explained.
So, when, exactly, are your talking about here?
The boomer generation is definitely real, they hoarde, own, lord, and squander a majority of the economic wealth over the younger generations. So, in some sense different generations do exist.
(Their children Generation X aren’t all that much better.)
Elder Millennial here.
