Reali-Tivo

In the past few months I have become so used to my DVR that, when listening to the radio or sitting in a movie, I find myself reaching for a remote when I miss a phrase or want to hear something again, having become inured to the convenience of pausing and/or rewinding live TV.

But that's not the scary part. The scary part is the fact that I sometimes do it in reality. Someone says something in a meeting or on a conference call, and I find myself wanting to rewind.
