I think the real impact of the walkout is that we'll have a generation that will always have a common talking point. They'll be in college and be able to have a shared memory about doing something because of gun violence in schools. They'll be out in the real world and they'll have that point of commonality that will make "school shootings" a thing they were part of. Even tiny things like that can have an important and lasting effect.
Even if it doesn't mean a lot to them, it's now a connection nearly everyone in this generation shares.
