I am grateful for having access to every person, thought, and song at my fingertips.
However, I miss:
– Getting lost while driving
– Making mixed tapes from the radio
– A trivial debate ending unresolved
– Playing private detective to find someone’s phone number (white pages)
– Writing / receiving letters
– Prank phone calls (I know this ended with called ID in 1990-ish)
– Being bored and resorting to reordering my CD collection
– Mystery of life, of the world. What’s Norway like? Where is our new history teacher from?
– Microfiche (With the Dewey Decimal System, library books, and libraries)
– The comfort of idealizing future possibilities
– Living in a smaller world
