I absolutely love the internet.  I love Google.  I love YouTube.  I love the fact that any time I have a vague memory of a song I once liked, I can bring up the lyrics or watch the video.  Most scenes from films or TV shows can easily  be accessed.  I know I can't have both but is it weird that I sometimes get nostalgic about how we previously coped?  The joy we once felt when a movie we loved that we hadn't seen in ages was going to be sreened.  Listening to a song, lord knows how many times, just to figure out the lyrics.  I once played Creque Alley by The Mammas and Pappas about 20 times, patiently writing out the song though I never got it right till the internet came along .  The excitement we felt prior to the first oldies radio stations, when we heard the odd song from our pasts and we were instantly transported.  I used to go into an awful boutique in Wood Green, just to hear Everything I Own by Ken Boothe years after it had been in the charts.  We can't go back and nor should we, but in being able to access anything at any time, I wonder if we have lost that little bit of  'special' when something from our past crept up, surprised us and said 'hey, remember me?'.
