Laptop Memories of Yesteryear

Ian was on my computer this morning, and he came across some electronic mementos of years past, in the form of bookmarks he created in the prime of his youth in my Chrome browser:

"My Little Pony and Batman from YouTube, from when I was trying to give Madeleine and Daniel something to watch on your computer... from when I was like 6 or something... Let me tell you - that was a long time ago!  Of course, at that time, I didn't really know how to get to them.  I'd just bookmark things so that someone would be able to remember them.  I was just happy that they were being stored, even though I couldn't exactly access them at the moment."

My guess is that he wouldn't have used that language at age 6 or 7, but he would have had the same categories in his mind, in terms of thinking about access and retrieval of data...
