Tonight, my wife and I were reflecting on past years. At a certain point in the conversation we hit past favorite albums and in particular an album by Barclay James Harvest: Berlin - A concert for the people. Turns out we both had the album (which came out in 1982) - but neither of us still have it. Thankfully, the iTunes music store has it and within minutes of "remembering" the good old days, the music was purchased with a click and playing from iTunes. Even though this is already quite commonplace, it is worth reflecting on how the Internet and services like the iTunes store are actually enabling us to reload and re-live memories.
