On Ownership

[all2swift]

I really think I miss ownership. We don’t bother with permanence any more if we can manage it. We subscribe to music or movie services. We lease cars and even phones. Computer software and apps are moving towards subscription rather than outright ownership. We don’t really bother much with physical objects when we can find an ethereal alternative

I read this a while ago but couldn't think of how to respond. I'm not usually sentimental and don't keep things. This, LJ, did make me nostalgic though.

I’m not nostalgic usually, either, but finding a few boxes of old homework and going through photo albums was pretty amazing.

I can’t believe I’ve forgotten so much of my life already.
