More than once, I've half-seriously lamented that the death of VHS killed discussions. Before DVDs and streaming, you'd rewind the tape at the end of the movie. You'd talk quietly with your viewing partner(s) about what you had just seen and how it made you feel, over the loud noise of the VCR. Now in our instant-gratification society, this time of reflection is robbed from us.

Of course, I'd not suggest going back to VHS...
