What’s a small moment from your past that you still think about years later?
Worked for 7s
That depends on the nostalgia I’m watching. An old movie or television show can bring back a small moment I haven’t thought about in years. Sometimes I remember where I was when I first watched it more clearly than I remember the story.
Watching Jaws takes me back to growing up in Florida and wondering what might be swimming underneath me. I could be enjoying a day at the beach, then suddenly remember that shark. A movie ticket bought more than two hours of entertainment. It bought years of looking down into the water.
Then there’s Pong. I remember Christmas in 1975, when two paddles and a little moving square were enough to hold my attention. At twelve years old, I wasn’t thinking about how far video games would go. I just wanted to play.
So, dear reader, choosing one small moment isn’t easy. Put on an old movie, play a familiar song, or show me a game I haven’t seen in decades, and I might give you a different answer. That depends on what you’ve reminded me of.
