I didn’t need a pen to rewind an audio cassette. I would just use my fingernail if it was long enough, and rotate as many times as necessary.

That being said, I am glad physical media still has value to younger generations. I’m not completely against streaming services, though. There are free streaming services like Tubi, Roku, Plex, and PlutoTV that I like to use from time to time. If you want to see what something is like out of curiosity, I can understand why you would use a streaming service. But if you find you like a song or like a movie-really like it-then you should get a physical copy of it if a physical copy is available.

Ever notice how common it is for fictional characters to discuss the absurdity of building a society around the consumption of bean juice? I’ve often wondered if it’s an intentional and malicious societal system, where too many employers and social structures expect us to ‘balance’ so many pressures and obligations we can’t rightly and sufficiently get enough rest for (especially for people with lengthy shifts or commutes), unless we supplement our natural sleep cycle with artificial – and potentially dangerous – energy intake. This needs to change, even as I’m sure the coffee and energy-drink companies love it.
