Our algorithmic gods sometimes do give us revelation. There have been many times when listening to music on Pandora that a song has truly and deeply moved me, revealing things about myself or my relationship with the world of which I had hitherto been unaware. I, too, grew up with mix tapes, and not being able to just "skip" when you didn't care for a particular song out of all album. Then again, I also spent more money on much less a variety of artists back in the days of casette tapes, than I do now on all-I-can-eat streaming audio. Sometimes, technology helps us take risks by making it feel safer to do so. Now, if you saw my library of books... that would tell you a different tale about my relationship with technology. Books are just... magical.
