I like search engines and I know how to ctrl+f in documents, but I also like my old drafting and engineering textbooks with my marginal notes and my highlighted sections from old study sessions. I like kindles/e-readers for their compact storage of entire libraries, but a paper novel is a special experience. I like overnight shipping from Amazon and other online stores, but I also remember waiting for a LEGO catalog order to arrive after the ritual you mentioned of poring through the catalog, filling out an order form, handing my mother some of my allowance, watching her write the check, and then waiting for the box of plastic bricks to arrive.
