It's the size of my wallet. No, slimmer; shiny silver like something out of Ray Bradbury. I plug it into my USB port, and I can back up my life: everything I've collected over the past ten years. 10 years of photographs (what a different person I was then- looking over, I only recognize parts of him. Or I just recognize parts of him that have been added to to form the weird amalgamation I am now). 10 years of music: the songs that used to mean so much, that I barely listen to anymore because I now think they're corny. 10 years of poems- no, even more than that. And they all go into this little silver box. They could go three times over into this little silver box. Life through a USB cord.
I know it sounds like one of those "new technology moves so fast" things, but I have these memories of big, boxy monitors with only 2 colors... My family's first PC...
