Miss....I might wax nostalgic about used record stores and stacks of paperbacks and playing cards (for playing solitaire), but I'm not sure I miss them.
On the other hand, I do miss my figure. Before I bought a computer and discovered the internet, I used to go outside and do things like take walks! Maybe I had to re-arrange my entire paperback to collection to squeeze some new entries into the correct alphabetic and genre sequence.
As a corollary, I miss the idea that if we had a family gathering, the younger members of the family were actually expected to part of them, rather than sulking in a corner and texting away on their cellphones/tablets. (Of course, a flipside to that is, if I want to know what my niece is doing at any given moment except when she's in bed, all I have to do is check her Facebook page!)
