I have often thought about this. Not specifically the obedience aspect. More about how I have noticed that I don't enjoy music as I used to.

I have wondered if, at least in part, that having unfettered access to music has in a way cheapened it. I remember that I used to buy an album, and I would listen to it for weeks and weeks. Now I churn though music. Granted I could just pace myself, but the platforms do not lend themselves to this kind of behavior IMO. 

Discovery is different too. It was a skill, maybe even an art, that each person has to develop. Now we don't, or at least I feel I don't have to anymore. 

The question is: is that a reflection on me or the tech?
