In the year of 2026, the Apple Music app in my car often glitches when there is no network. But rather than pick up where it left off, it will just drop me at the beginning of the song when I resume play, and I can’t but help myself to thinking about the ESP technology in my Sony Discman from 1995 that allowed me to listen to tracks read off a spinning disc using a laser with *nary a blip* when my little cherry red 3 cylinder Geo Storm bumped all over the 101.
