You said "You don't have to have the memories intact for an event to leave a lasting impression upon you".
Sorry to disagree, I have found 30 years later I am now being subjected to
violent memories as flashbacks, that I couln't remember before this current
issue. ie: I was doing O.K. until a trigger brought back distant memories.
A computer is a tool. You can use it however your mind wishes it to. If I wish to use it as a TV, I will do. If I wish to use it as a multi-dollar calculator I will do. If I wish it to run my washing machine, I will do. If I wish it to run a network of computers for my company, I will do. Your reasons are your owm, don't decry other peoples ideas of a computer just because they don't fit into your way of thinking.
I don't hear the TV companies complaining about loss of viewers migrating to the internet when there's crap on the TV. I have increased my music purchases due to hearing downloaded music material. Anyways, apart from "quality", where's the difference between listeneing to it free on the radio and downloading it and then listening to it? One law for the rich and one for the poor.
