Who remembers the sound of unwrapping a new record album, the smell of a new car or the thrill of opening the front door to a newly purchased home? At different points in my life, each one stood for the joy of possession, and the sense of having really arrived. 谁还记得拆开一张新唱片的窸窣声、一辆新车的味道或者打开一套新居的大门时的激动之情?在我人生的不同时刻,每一个都代表着拥有的喜悦,那种拥有的感觉是实实在在的。 My teenaged children and their peers do not see things the same way. They would rather pay for Spotify and Netflix subscriptions that let them play selections from huge online music and video catalogues than purchase DVDs or permanent downloads of a smaller selection of titles. 我十几岁的孩子和他们的同龄人对待物品的态度却与我不同。他们更愿意成为Spotify和Netflix的付费会员,他们可以从浩大的在线音乐和视频目录中任意选择播放,而不是购买DVD或永久下载数量较少的曲目或视频。 |
