Here’s a new Twenty First Century challenge I ran into today.
I need to mail a check. Nothing dramatic here. I know exactly where the check book is, address, etc. However, it took several minutes to:
a) find my envelopes
b) find a stamp (I think it’s the last one in the house, btw)
c) I never did find the return address labels that I’m sure I have
What strikes me with all this: at one place mailing stuff was so commonplace that I not only knew where these things were, I had used them recently. I realized today that I have mailed anything in months.
Subtle changes, these things. But substantive, nonetheless.
