I’ve just woken up from a very long slumber. For the last time I was awake we actually had to wait to hear a song we loved on a radio which consisted of a handful of channels. You could wait hours upon hours to hear it especially if it wasn’t in the top 20. Of course you could buy a record but that would occur by going to an actual store not grab it … online? If you wanted to watch a certain show you would actually have to be there at the exact time it occurred and if you left for a bathroom break then you’d have to hope the physical constraints were quicker then the commercials. Channels were limited as well to even less then your radio options. When a movie came out you did have a bit more then weeks to watch it though. In this world talks at the water cooler were much more cohesive and actually brought people together at least socially. It must feel like centuries to you but it was only my youth and gratification was less immediate yet more significant.
