0A flashbulb moment is when we experience an event that causes us to remember everything about that event and even seemingly trivial information related to it. The term 01i 00flashbulb 02i 00comes from the jargon of photography, in which a flashbulb is used to illuminate everything in front of the camera, thereby giving us a picture of what was happening at the moment in time when the picture was taken. Many of us had a flashbulb moment on February 1, 2003.
