I feel the same about certain things, like video or music stores. It was kind of an event in and of itself to get up and go somewhere, maybe with friends or significant others. You could potentially meet new people, discuss movies or music with a total stranger. "Honey, what do you want to watch?" Before Netflix: "let's go to the store, see what we could find. Let's stop on the way, get some ice cream." Invariably you also run into someone you know on the way. After Netflix: "I dunno, just pick something." I'm not saying I miss Blockbuster or I under-appreciate the convenience of Netflix. I just miss that tiny sense of adventure.
