I read a digital message from boyhood guitar hero Johnny Marr moments after it was sent (from England) about a public school chorus in Staten Island covering a classic song from The Smiths. I was able to instantly view a streaming video of the performance. I was then able to forward the message to my friends and acquaintances all over the world. Feeling nostalgic, I accessed a digital locker of my entire music collection over a network connection and played the original song on my portable computer. Needing to leave my desk, I switched the playback to my telephone and was able to continue listening while I walked. From my wireless telephone. That is in my pocket.
Sometimes it’s satisfying to recognize how far we’ve come.
